Shelburne Ski Hill Historic/Ghost Area Resort (Are you this resort?)

The Shelburne Ski Hill was located on NH State Rte. 2 just east of the Town & Country Inn in Shelburne, NH less than a quarter of a mile from the town line with Gorham. The trails are still quite visible (as of 2010). The hill was open approximately from the late 1940’s into the early 1970’s. At one time there were lights for night skiing and the ski area had one main “slope” a bunny hill and a couple of more difficult trails through the trees.

With a 250’ vertical the Shelburne Rope Tow was a decent sized little local’s hill with a couple of challenging trails through the woods.
