The hill in the background of this photo is the now lost Alpine Lake ski area in Terra Alta, West Virginia.  This is about 20 miles southwest of Wisp Ski area in western MD.  The Alpine Lake Resort continues to be the site of a pretty golf course which I played on 6 Sep 2024.  I never got a chance to ski Alpine Lake when it was open, but I remember hearing about it.  Believe it discontinued operation in the early 1990s.

Signature 10th hole, par 3, at the Alpine Lake golf course.  One of the few I parred :-)   The Old ski hill is to the right out of view.  

I have an old brochure for this place, perhaps from the late 80s.  I’ll have to see if I can dig it up and perhaps get it scanned in for the lost ski area page.
