10/20/2023 1 Comment Hidden valley ski resort pa(For Plateau de Mount, perhaps?)įrom what little information I can find about the resort, it operated during the 1970s and featured seven ski slopes which were serviced by a double chair lift. The road leading to the lodge is called Club House Road and Demount Road. Apparently you can still see the concrete pad for the lift. It appears in the photo that the lodge was at the bottom with the seven slopes converging at one point where the ski lift was, but the lodge was actually at the top if you look at a topographical map. On Google maps you could make out seven distinct slopes in an inverted shape. There in the trees I could make out the shape of what looked like seven ski slopes. I had to zoom in, and if I wasn’t looking for it I might have missed it. I was looking for anything that would give me a clue. I started looking by the quarry, which is directly across from Hidden Valley’s main entrance. I took to Google Maps and started scouting the aerial satellite views of the area. If there really was a mysterious ski resort I figured there must be some sort of a trace remaining, right? Well, I was in for a treat. I wasn’t sure if any evidence of it still existed so I decided to do some digging. I wasn’t sure it was even true.įrom what I have read, Plateau de Mount was located across Route 31 from Hidden Valley. Sure, I had heard of some small backwoods single ski slopes but nothing that was as large at Plateau de Mount supposedly was. I am going to assume it was through some of my history research, but I was surprised because I’d never heard of another ski resort before. I don’t remember when the first time I heard the name Plateau de Mont. What I didn’t realize, however, is that they weren’t the only game in town. All three, which are owned by Seven Springs, make up the entirety of the area’s skiing. Everyone knows of the three big Laurel Highlands ski resorts: Seven Springs, Hidden Valley, and Laurel Mountain.
