For Sale: Former New York Ski Area ($2.95 Million)

Last operated in the 1980s, the old lodge has been converted into an apartment complex. There are also many relics from its ski area days.

Stormville, New York — Are you looking for a place to live with skiable terrain? This former ski area is a good option.

Priced at nearly $3 million, 3384 Route 52 is home to a piece of New York skiing history. The five-parcel property features the former Mount Storm Ski Area, which last operated in the 1980s. It closed due to a fire at the main base lodge and rising insurance costs. Arguably, the main attraction here is the basement of the main building. In the basement is the old ski rental shop, which still includes the old skis, boots, and signs. The building itself has been converted to three separate three-bedroom apartments. The land still features some relics of the ski area, including an abandoned lift and a snow groomer.

The zoning with this former ski area is pretty interesting. Part of the land is an agricultural district for farm use. Other portions of the land are residential, which could lead to more residential or apartment development. While its lift-served ski days are over, it could still be a fun spot for residents and the owner to ski, snowmobile, and sled.
