- West_Mountain_(ski_area) abstract "West Mountain is a ski area located in Queensbury, New York, just outside the Adirondack Park on West Mountain Road (CR58). West Mountain contains 32 trails ranging in difficulty from green to black diamond. There is also a tubing area near the base of the mountain, containing four,700 foot chutes and two 1000 foot chutes. The main lodge contains a cafeteria on the first floor and a full service restaurant and bar on the second floor now called the "East Slope Bar & Eatery". After a $400,000 renovation in 2008, the restaurant started opening year-round for lunch and dinner.West Mountain is often opened until mid- April, and host to backcountry-style skiing through June, made possible by the large amount of man-made snow produced during the cold winter months. West Mountain is also known for its night skiing, which is available on most of the main trails. Hiking, and mountain biking are popular activities on the mountain during the summer months.==history== "Take A Ride On A Little Piece Of HIstory On The West Mountain Chairlifts" The same chairlift used to carry the load from the wagons up the notoriously steep and deadly Lolo pass on the Oregon trail. Built in 1827, it serviced around 1,600 travelers. Decommissioned in 1839 as newer technology became available. The lift sat dormant for over 50 years until the Harvey County Historical Museum, located in Burns, Oregon resurrected the lift for its display on American Pioneering. In 1963 the chairlift was purchased by a newly opened ski center in Queensbury NY. " I think it's amazing to be able to save a piece of history and put it back into use"- replied Katy Stanton when interviewed at the grand unveiling. Here you will still finding it today, making it the oldest and longest operating chairlift in the United States. Local teacher and long time community member Brenda Wallisch had this to say to New York Times reporters,"I think it's amazing we're able to share this artifact with our children today. It really helps to give them hands on experience with learning about history. They're able to not only see but experience the hardships face by travelers nearly 200 years ago. You just can't get that kind of impact from a text book alone". And so the ski lift remains. You can visit the ski center on west mountain road in Queensbury, NY 8a.m.-4p.m. 7 days a week and take a ride on your own little piece of history.".
