Get NASTAR Form - Crotched Mountain

The ski area went through many changes as it was built in the 1960's, stayed status quo during the 1970's, merged in 1980, and grew rapidly in the 1980's only to close in 1989. Crotched Mountain is built onto the Northeast shoulder of Crotched Mountain, a medium size mountain of elevation 2000 feet in southwest NH.

The portion of the mountain with the original Crotched Mountain ski area is now largely owned by the town of Francestown. In October 2019, Vail Resorts became the owner when it closed on a deal to buy Peak Resorts and all of its 17 ski areas.
