History
Written by aurora.ski from the 3 pages below, each sentence numbered to its sources.
Mt. Storm sat on Route 52 east of Stormville, within sight of Interstate 84. Skiing there dates to the 1950s. Guidebooks of the early 1970s list three trails, a T-bar, a Poma and three rope tows, and give 600 feet of vertical; NELSAP puts the drop at 240 feet, so the figures differ.1,2
The area was idle when the Herman family bought it in 1975. They reopened it, and lights for night skiing went up in its last two winters. A Borvig double chair was put in to reach new terrain, but it saw little or no use and was later sold out of state. In 1987 an arsonist burned the lodge and a family member died in the fire. The culprit was never found, and with insurance and repair costs too high, the area never reopened.1
TodayThe 88-acre property, with a main lodge building now holding apartments, was listed for sale at $2.95 million. (2026)3
