Belle Mountain, 1975, Hopewell



Belle Mountain, 1975, Hopewell
This was a close place to go skiing for Burg area
folks in my Burg era. I do not know when this
place opened up or when it closed.

I was probably one of the first paying customers over the school Christmas break of 1995/96. For me it was probably the best money the county ever spent and I was hooked. Sure it was small but it was best looked at as a "gym" for skiers to keep us tuned up.

We rented our gear those first few times at J&T Sports on Ewingville Road.

The closing dates published are around the winter of 1997/98, but that may have been the expiration date for the vendor who took over. I think it was too warm for snow making the last year or two and sadly they closed.

Mack, could you forward this pic up to the NELSAP project (New England Lost Ski Areas), they also included Belle and a pic of the old snow guns would be nice.
