This was an awesome adventure. We love exploring abandoned places.There is lots of trails and lots of history to see and a couple ski jumps too. The first time we came here was 3 years ago. The abandoned ski area buildings were in a lot better shape than they are now. We were disappointed to see that the 'A' frame base lodge is completely demolished. The ski hill dates back to the mid 1960's as part of the Kimble Union Academy's ski program. It ran until 1974 and has pretty much been abandoned since. We did post our video of the ski area for anyone interested in seeing the area. Just click the link... |
