AUBURN (AP) — Maine’s Lost Valley ski area and community volunteers are pulling together a plan to try to reopen this winter.
Lincoln Hayes, one of the owners, said a recent meeting with the Auburn Ski Association yielded some progress but that a plan hasn’t yet been finalized.
The ski resort, which first opened in 1961, announced in June that it was in financial trouble and would be unable to reopen.
Hayes tells the Sun Journal that there’s been an outpouring of community support since then. Hayes suggested a group that would be known as “Friends of Lost Valley” was forming, and they would possibly become a non-profit organization.
