History
Written by aurora.ski from the 3 pages below, each sentence numbered to its sources.
The Concord, a resort hotel at Kiamesha Lake that opened in 1935, grew fast after World War II. Renamed the New Concord, it added amenities to keep pace with rival Grossinger's and its ski slope and golf course. Its ski area lay off Route 42, about four miles east of Monticello and some two hours from New York City.1,2
Ski guides from 1970 to 1978 list two T-bars and two rope tows on 400 feet of vertical, a longest run of 1,200 to 1,700 feet, and snowmaking over the whole area. A trail map from 1988 survives. The hotel closed in 1998 and was torn down in 2008, and Resorts World Catskills opened on its site in February 2018. The pages read do not say when the skiing began or ended.1,2,3
