No one knows more about the many and varied ski areas in this region than Jeremy Davis. He's skied all 85 of them. A decade ago he set up the New England Lost Ski Areas Project and so far he's recorded the histories of 625 community ski areas that are now closed. But Davis is convinced that the pendulum is swinging away from the big, homogenous resorts, back to the raw skiing experience of the remaining smaller areas, not least because they are so affordable.
