Mount Prospect Ski Tow is a currently dormant ski area located within Weeks State Park in Lancaster, 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] As of February 1948, it included a 900feet rope tow, NaNspell=inNaNspell=in intermediate trail, and warming hut operated by the Mt. Prospect Outing Club.[3]
After closing in 1997,[4] the area did not operate until re-opening for the 2007–08 season.[5] 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]
