Augusta’s Lost Ski Areas
You might be surprised to learn that Augusta was once home to not one, but THREE ski areas! There were also ski areas in Winthrop, Chelsea, and Vassalboro
According to Colby College and NELSAP.org, they were:
-Gilmour's Hill in Winthrop
-Oak Grove School in Vassalboro
All of these were small operations that operated in the 1950s and 1960s.
If you parents and/or grandparents were originally from Central Maine, I bet they skied at these resorts.
