The looking down the old carriage road to the Page Hill ledges Since it was another gloomy day outside, I wasn't intending to do any sort of after work hike. Upon deciding to check out a long-abandoned ski area, I headed up the road to Page Hill. It was clear that the old carriage road to the summit hadn't been broken out in recent days. As a result, snowshoes were very helpful. Despite the cloudy weather, the Sandwich Range and points up toward North Conway were plainly visible from the ledges. Pressed for time, I didn't bother to go to the real summit. Rather, I set off bushwacking (not mapped) for the ski area. Thanks to some tips and also looking at the 1950s topographic map, I was able to find the old slope and base area of the ski area with relative ease - it's a steep descent at first! Not too much left of the base area buildings.
