Counting who skied it…
Mount Tone, once called Sno-Hill, ran at Camp Lohikan near Lake Como, on Wallerville Road close to the New York border. The camp, a retreat with bunkhouses, cottages and lodges, sat beside a broad lower meadow served by two rope tows, and a triple chair climbed from there to the area's highest point over easy, rolling runs.1

History
Written by aurora.ski from the 3 pages below, each sentence numbered to its sources.
Mount Tone, once called Sno-Hill, ran at Camp Lohikan near Lake Como, on Wallerville Road close to the New York border. The camp, a retreat with bunkhouses, cottages and lodges, sat beside a broad lower meadow served by two rope tows, and a triple chair climbed from there to the area's highest point over easy, rolling runs. Across the road, a short walk and a bridge away, the original T-bar served the steepest terrain: expert runs, with one intermediate route winding around them.1
DCSki counts 10 trails on four lifts and about 60 acres, with night skiing and snowmaking on both hills. Readers remember cheap Friday night tickets, school ski trips, church weekends in the cabins, and a narrow trail called Shotgun. The skiing shut down in 2004.1,2
