From city-run hill to McIntyre Ski Area, LLC
In 1996, per McIntyre's own About Us page, McIntyre Ski School, Inc. opened a retail and rental shop for equipment purchases and winter gear. In 2009, McIntyre Ski School, Inc. took over operations of the ski area from the City of Manchester, and the operator's own page credits this transition with new tubing facilities, conveyor lifts, terrain-park improvements, and a 9,000-square-foot lodge. In 2017, McIntyre Ski School, Inc. changed ownership, with longtime President and General Manager Ross Boisvert taking over and reestablishing the business as McIntyre Ski Area, LLC. Per the operator's own account, Ross Boisvert has been affiliated with McIntyre since 1983, moving from ski instructor to Snowsports Director in 1989 and General Manager in 2009, and received the 2021 Einar Aas award for Excellence in Snowsports School Management.
