Pine Ridge Snow Park
Historical resource revised October 20, 2026. Original publication history is retained. This page does not verify current recreational operations or public access.
Pine Ridge Snow Park was a small ski area in Barre, Massachusetts, also known as Barre Ski Tow and Pine Ridge Ski Area. The New England Lost Ski Areas Project preserves an account contributed by a former instructor and patrol director who worked at the area.
That account traces skiing from the mid-1950s, through closures and reopenings in 1982, 1990, 2001 and 2003. It describes a T-bar fire during the 2005–06 season that ended lift operations. The history also records night skiing, local school groups and winter carnivals.
Kearsarge Energy’s Stetson Road project page describes later solar development on a former ski hill, with commercial operation beginning in May 2014. This resource preserves Pine Ridge’s skiing history; it does not offer a current recreation timetable or establish public access to the property.
