Mt. Tom Ski Area
Bethlehem & Carroll, New Hampshire
Proposed in the 1970s
| Overview |
 The Mt. Tom Ski Area would have likely been located on the northern slopes of Mt. Tom, based in Crawford Notch. Developed in part by Crawford House owner George McAvoy and reviewed by Tom Corcoran, the plans were cancelled by the mid-1970s closing and subsequent fire of the lodging facility.

We invited Tommy Cochran to come up from Waterville Valley and look over our plans. He was enthralled with the skiing opportunities of Mt. Tom and noted that if he had known about the area, he might not have become involved in Waterville.
