Where is “Norm White”?  It doesn’t appear on the NELSAP list.</blockquote> It is Wight, not Wright. I make the same mistake. It’s near you!! It’s at the Dublin School in Dublin, NH off 101.Which reminds me of another one. Cardigan Mountain School. Don’t they have one or had ones? I think I read they had multiple sites and I believe I found pics on their site one that looked like recent on campus.Also Kent Hills, ME is operating.

<blockquote class=“Quote” rel=“joshua_segal”><blockquote class=“Quote” rel=“IBRAKEFORTBARS”>East Hill in Camillus, NY is a rope tow  and Hall t-bar hill in the back yard of a local elementary school. </blockquote>

Is it privately owned or is it owned by the school and/or city? My notes indicate that it is owned and/or operated by the “Camillus Ski Association.”</blockquote>

That may be true so perhaps it doesn’t belong in the list as school/city owned and operated. It is in the school’s backyard so one could say it’s on or adjacent to school property. 

Treilly

Mt Ripley Michigan is owned by Michigan Technological University

OK.  When I get around to posting NH, Dublin School is listed.  They have had several sites including one that is currently operational with a pony lift.  I didn’t know it as “Norm Wight”.

I too thought that the Cardigan School had its own hill, but it’s not on NELSAP.

This page on the Kents Hill School athletic facilities has a photo of their ski slope.(It slides by.) It says the rope tow is new. I checked the vertical of the hill, 200-210 feet. http://www.kentshill.org/page/athletics/facilities<div>Never skied there but I had a summer job there painting. Great views from their hilltop.</div>

Cranwell School in Lenox MA had a short rope tow.  I remember using it as a practice slope a couple of times when I was on my high school ski team.

Tell me about that one.  I don’t even have that listed on my NY lost & open list.

In trying to find something on the Word of Life Bible Church, I tripped over this: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2009/08/25/liberty<div> </div><div>Apparently, Liberty U., Lynchburg, VA has a snowflex ski area on campus.</div>

SUNY Cobleskill had a decent sized tbar/rope tow ski area. I believe all the facilities still exists, it just has not operated as a ski hill in many years.

I forgot this one: Houghton College in western NY has a little ski hill with rope toes.

I just looked at the topo and aerial photo of the site and there’s a possible slope on the southeast face of the hill just north of the campus. It shows as a clearing on the topo with possibly 100 vertical feet. The clearing looks smaller on the aerial; if it’s a slope it’s most likely overgrown.

I respectively say again, the Cardigan Mountain School. NELSAP was there 14 years ago, so his linkies aren’t as up to date as mine.That last link sure looks like an operating rope tow in 2017. Looks like fun! And before you say it, there is a snowboard in one pic…even though no one is wearing it.http://www.nelsap.org/nh/cardiganschool.htmlhttp://www.nelsap.org/nh/pinnaclecanaan.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardigan_Mountain_Schoolhttps://cardigan.smugmug.com/January-2017/Sixth-Grade-Snow-Fun/

Friend of mine learned to ski on a plastic slope at Kean College in NJ.  If you’re going to count the synthetic slopes,  perhaps it was more common than we might’ve thought – especially in the NJ area as one of the leading manufacturers was located in the state.  

None of these NJ slopes were nearly as fully realized as Mt Aggie or Liberty Snowflex
