Mount Prospect Ski Tow is a currently dormant ski area located within Weeks State ParkinLancaster, New Hampshire, United States. It is located on land owned by the State of New Hampshire, operating under a lease agreement.[1]
The area has operated seasonally since the 1940s.[2][3] As of February 1948, it included a 900-foot (270 m) rope tow, three-quarters-mile (1.2 km) intermediate trail, and warming hut operated by the Mt. Prospect Outing Club.[4]
After closing in 1997,[5] the area did not operate until re-opening for the 2007–08 season.[2] As of 2009, the area's lone ski tow was powered by an engine from a 1957 Chevrolet.[6]
The area did not open in 2022, as organizers sought to "replace the rope, corral new volunteers and shuffle our leadership team."[7] Lacking snowmaking capabilities, it also did not open for the 2022–23 season, due to weather conditions.[8]
