History
Written by aurora.ski from the 3 pages below, each sentence numbered to its sources.
Lemon Drop was a ski area in Cambria County. Skimap.org lists it under that name with no maps, dates or lifts. A golf directory says the Lemon Drop golf course, on Clubhouse Lane with an Ebensburg address, was laid out over a former ski area and opened in 1991, owned, designed and built by Bob Varner. The tie between Skimap.org's record and the golf course rests on the shared name and place. No readable source found gives the ski area's years or lifts.1,2,3
