NewEnglandSkier13 Dear Eaton Mountain Friends: I regret that I must inform you that Eaton Mountain will not be operating for the coming 2019-20 winter season. I realize this will be a big disappointment to our many loyal customers who keep coming back to make great wintertime memories here. Over the past few years, I have had to face several personal and business related challenges and it is now necessary to take a year off in order to reposition the business so we can operate from a more solid footing and expand & improve upon what is already in place. I want to stress that Eaton Mountain is not being closed permanently or liquidated. It is my intention to reopen next season and to continue with the ski area and snowtubing park as the primary focus of the business. Thank you for your patience. I will post updates here and on www.eatonmt.com as soon as there is information to share. Best Regards, David S. Beers President, Eaton Mountain
rickbolger Well that's sad news. I think this is the fellow who was injured by a grooming machine? The fact that he recovered and kept after it this long is certainly admirable and inspiring. I'll echo "Good luck Dave with your future endeavors!"
NewEnglandSkier13 mapnut;c-38213 wroteHe plans to reopen after a year off. Not NELSAP. I hope that's the case, but it seems like that's what most areas which go NELSAP claim.
ski_it Except his current working infrastructure is much, much smaller than those 2 operations were. 3 handle tows, tubes, a few buildings and a groomer or two.
NewEnglandSkier13 I just spoke with David Beers. He hopes that after he takes a season off to figure out funding and staffing, he will be able to re-open next year. Future plans include campsites, a Hall chairlift to the top, snowmaking on a few trails from the summit, and night skiing on a few trails from the summit. He specified a Hall chairlift because it would work with the existing lift towers.
ciscokid Funny( not really) how them good lookin Hall cathedral gothic chairs are sittin in the barn at Tupper ( no real chance they will ever get used again)
