Temple Mountain Ski Area

Like many other small ski areas in the country, it closed due to poor weather, rising costs, and changing recreational habits.

Its entrance was located on New Hampshire Route 101, straddling the border of the towns of Temple and Peterborough.

The 350-acre (1.4 km2) site, of which about 60 acres (240,000 m2) was used for the ski area, struggled under several owners and closed after the 2000–01 season.

[1] John and Connie Kieley of Temple Highlands LLC purchased the ski area in 2003.

[2] In December 2007, the State of New Hampshire, with some federal funds, purchased the 352 acres (142 ha) for a reported $1 million, creating the Temple Mountain State Reservation.
