While the original area featured rope tows in the 1930s, the upper trails were hike-up-only. The new upper mountain rope tow served four trails and made the mountain the largest lift served ski area in Southern New England with a total of 820 vertical feet advertised. The upper mountain area likely remained in operation through Beartown's last season, perhaps 1963-64.
