History

Frost Ridge was a small hill off Conlon Road in Le Roy, close to Exit 47 of the New York Thruway and about 19 miles from Rochester. Lost NY describes it as run by the Town of Le Roy Parks and Recreation, open on weekends and holidays on natural snow, with a T-bar serving 140 feet of vertical.1,2
In 1970 guides listed three rope tows, three trails and about 135 feet of vertical. By 1972–73 a T-bar had joined the rope tows, and later White Books give a 640-foot base, a 790-foot top and seven trails. Trail maps from 1989 and 1990 survive. Lost NY says it went out of business as a lift-served ski area around 2009.1,2,3
