    Lifts Removed/Non Operational:
    Located near downtown Claremont, Arrowhead was advertised as having two Poma lifts and 30 acres of terrain for the 1961-62 season, however the area likely did not open until 1962-63.

    While the area was likely open for skiing throughout the rest of the 1960s, operations were sporadic during the 1970s and 1980s. The area was closed for most, if not all, of the 1990s.

    After years of closure, Spencer Allen led an effort to reopen the ski area. While an attempt was made to reopen the area late in the winter of 2001-2002, Arrowhead's return to operations finally happened in 2002-2003. Members of the Arrowhead Recreation Club have donated countless hours of work in rebuilding the ski area.
