Additional Property Attributes

Former Use: The approximately 1,713-acre Site largely consists of undeveloped wooded land and a ski resort (Big Squaw Ski Area). Prior to 1962, the approximate 1,700-acre portion of the Site along Ski Resort Road consisted of undeveloped wooded land. The central portion of the Site was initially developed as a ski area in 1962. Improvements to the ski area between the 1960s and 1990s have included cleared ski trails along the northern face of the mountain, construction and operation of two chair lifts, two ski lodges, a 60-room hotel, and a maintenance garage. The western portion of the ski area accessed by the upper lift was closed in 2004 and the hotel in this area of the Site ceased operations in 2006. The ski area was closed in 2010 and remained closed until 2012, when the nonprofit organization Friends of Squaw Mountain began to operate the lower lodge and lower mountain lift located on the eastern portion of the Site. Seasonal operation of the lower lodge and chair lift during the winter months by Friends of Squaw Mountain has continued since 2012. A 0.5-acre parcel of land along the shore of Mountain View Pond, is also included as part of the Site. This area is currently occupied by a pump house, which was formerly used to supply water for snow making purposes. Based on historical topographic maps, this area was improved with a residential or agricultural structure dating back to 1944. Prior to 1944, this area consisted of undeveloped wooded land. The Site also includes a 13-acre parcel of land located along the western shore of Moosehead Lake. This parcel currently consists of gravel roads and a residential structure with waterfront access to Moosehead Lake (marina); prior to this, the parcel consisted of undeveloped wooded land.
