Black Mountain Ski Area
Dummerston, Vermont
Overview
A ski area was apparently proposed for Black Mountain near West Dummerston. While it was mentioned briefly in the press in 1962, it is not known if the area actually ever opened, as the snow season featured a slow start. The small ski area would have featured two rope tows.
Maple Valley would open nearby in 1963-64.
