NELSAP

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

NELSAP, which stands for the New England Lost Ski Areas Project, is a Web-based organization that concerns the history of downhill ski areas, mostly in the American northeast. In recent years it has also organized hikes, research projects, and lectures.

[edit] History

NELSAP was started in October of 1998 by Jeremy Davis. The site has grown over the years to list 578 closed New England ski areas and 63 outside the region (as of January 2007).

The project's data is collected from a variety of sources, including old brochures, ski area guides, personal stories, and recent visits. NELSAP has an alliance with the New England Ski Museum.

The site has grown to have national recognition and has been subject of newspaper articles and television reports.
