Mt. Willard Ski Area
Bethlehem, Carroll, & Hart's Location, New Hampshire
Proposed in the 1970s
Overview
Along with the Mt. Tom proposal, Crawford House owner George McAvoy also considered building a lift to the adjacent Mt. Willard. The plans were cancelled by the mid-1970s closing and subsequent fire of the lodging facility. The Appalachian Mountain Club Highland Center is now located near the proposed base area.
