Pop-Up Exhibition

The Lost Ski Areas of Vermont by the Manchester Historical Society & the Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum

You’re invited to explore a special pop-up exhibit in the lower gallery of the Manchester Community Library. This collaborative display between the Manchester Historical Society (MHS) and the Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum (VTSSM) in Stowe highlights Vermont’s “lost” ski areas. 

For more than 20 years, VTSSM has been documenting Vermont’s “lost” ski areas. Their research has identified 190 closed ski areas and six that never opened. This exhibit features a selection of sites located south of Route 4, including #35: Snow Valley, which is highlighted here.

To learn more about Vermont’s lost ski areas, please visit vtssm.org or call 802-253-9911.
