    Gap Mountain
    Troy, New Hampshire
    Proposed in the 1960s and 70s

    Overview
    Originally a small rope tow area that may or may not have ever operated during the middle of the twentieth century, a larger ski development was proposed on Gap Mountain during the 1960s and/or 1970s, leading to a successful land preservation effort.
    Today
    There are still remains from the old rope tow from the original Gap Mountain Tow.
