Highmount Ski Resort
I stumbled upon an abandonded ski resort yesterday called Highmount, turns out it’s a stone’s throw from Bellayre Mtn. (We’re in the western part of the Catskills, of upstate NY, for those of you who don’t know)
Here’s a map, zoom in and go to aerial image to see it.
This is an excerpt of one panorama I shot while I’m up there. Not sure if it’s the best one out of what I shot, but it was the easiest to stitch together earlier today:
I always find abandonded ski resorts fascinating. Most are relics of the heyday that skiing had in the 80’s; having not researched it much yet, I’d have to gamble Highmount closed in the early 90’s. There’s a bunch of engravings on the top station tower from ‘95 and ‘98, which I don’t think could have been made while the resort was open. If anybody knows anything about Highmount, let me know!
