Located on a subpeak of Cannon Mountain, Mittersill was developed by Baron Hubert von Pantz, perhaps starting as early as 1940, with a rope tow opening in early 1942.
A double chairlift was installed in 1966, greatly increasing the Mittersill's advertised vertical drop.
For 1967, a $700,000 main lodge was built.
The ski area likely closed as early as 1982, with the National Forest permit expiring in 1984.
Mittersill was incorporated into Cannon Mountain ski area in 2009. The double chairlift would be replaced, opening on January 1, 2011.
