Mount Eustis Ski Hill

The rope tow at Mount Eustis was formally dedicated by the Littleton Outing Club on January 28 or 29, 1939, per the New England Lost Ski Areas Project's page on Mount Eustis. The Town of Littleton purchased the land in 1960, acquiring 34.67 acres for $7,200, per the same page, and continued to operate the area until about 1983, "although the exact last day of skiing is not yet known." A nonprofit, Mt. Eustis Ski Hill, was organized in 2013, allowing for formal fundraising toward reopening the hill, per NELSAP's page. The 2013 fundraising plan called for a rehabilitated rope tow from the former ski area in Lisbon, NH, to be restored by Littleton High School students, per the same page. Mt. Eustis held its official grand opening on February 7, 2015; on that day, per NELSAP, the donated rope tow had generator trouble, and snowmobiles were used to bring skiers to the summit. NELSAP's own page describes the reopening as holding "the record for the longest closed ski area to reopen in New England - approximately 32 years." Mount Eustis Ski Hill's own website states the hill is now "powered entirely by a passionate volunteer crew and the non-profit's dedicated board of directors."
