Lapham Peak Friends Snowmaking Committee
The Snowmaking Committee of the Friends of Lapham Peak raises money to fund snowmaking operations, maintenance, and capital improvements, by pursuing grants from public and private sources, and by hosting events such as the Summer Solstice, Fright Hike, the Lapham Loppet, and others throughout the year. Most importantly, the Committee also receives donations directly from skiers and other supporters by mailed-in donations, or online. Click here to learn how to make a donation.
Great News: we began making snow on December 6th, 2021! By early January 2022, we had the full manmade trail system open for skiing! Keep an eye on the Trail Conditions page for the latest information.
