The Quechee Lakes Landowners' Association was established in the winter of 1970. A centerpiece of winter recreation in the development, the Quechee ski area opened with a double chairlift for the 1970-71 season. A T-Bar was added half a decade later, serving novice lower mountain terrain.

Quechee made regional headlines in 1992 when it hosted the state's alpine and nordic Special Olympics.

After over 3 decades of service, the original double chairlift was replaced with a new Doppelmayr CTEC fixed grip quad chairlift in 2005. The double chairlift was later installed at Kendall Mountain in Colorado.

The Quechee Ski Area continues to operate today with snowmaking, the quad chairlift, T-Bar, and a handle tow.

Visitor Memories
"A delightful development for families with great golf, tennis, hiking and skiing! My parents owned a condo near a trail at the top of the ski hill. Spent Christmas, fall leaf peeping and parts of the summer at Quechee. Well managed and very friendly in the very early days when I was there. Would highly recommend this beautiful setting, neighboring Woodstock and Vermont. Wish I could return!!"
