Located just outside of popular vacation destination Wolfeboro, Copple Crown opened for the 1965-66 season with a 500 vertical foot Buhler T-Bar and a rope tow. While the ski area enjoyed some initial popularity (including hosting the state ski championship), it eventually faced bankruptcy as rising costs and competition forced it into submission.
