February 28, 1999
I've added 12 new areas in Vermont, added to the Vermont page.  Most of them have little info on them, so I'm hoping some of you will remember these areas.  NELSAP now has 137 areas!  Wow!  I've also reorganized the VT page like NH.

I've added 9 new areas: Ossipee Mtn, Jaffrey Slopes, Franklin Mtn, New London Slopes, Moose Mtn Slopes, Oak Hill, Keene's, Frontenac, and Intervale.  I need more info on these so please email me if you have any.

February 26, 1999
Start of some more areas on NELSAP...two new ones and one completely rewritten.  Crotched Mtn, NH and Monteau, NH added.  Onset/Bobcat all updated with new info.  I've also redesigned one of the state's page, this one being NH.  I think its a little simpler than the table which allows me to manipulate it better.  Please let me know which you like better, the old way or the new way.

Just 18 hours after I posted Crotched, I got an email from Dave Kulis from Ascutney Mtn.  He sent me the trail map from their final year!  Check it out, it shows the quad.  Crotched certainly looked like the place to be. Also, this trail map answers some questions about Bobcat.

February 25, 1999
Added info on 3 ski areas: Blanchard, Prospect, and Boston Hills, all in MA.  Also, I took a trip to RI and found 2/3 of the lost areas there.  Look for a more detailed explanation of Ski Valley and Diamond Hill coming soon, with lots of pictures.

Cat Rock Ski Area, Weston Massachusetts has been added, thanks to info from Jed Diehl!  I've also found a new site, Mediabuilder, at http://www.mediabuilder.com.  You can make all sorts of cool 3-d fonts and banners there.  I've started integrating them into NELSAP for some more interesting text.  Let me know what you think!

February 13, 1999
I've decided to add this new section as a journal of all that's new on NELSAP.  Lost areas and new info will be listed here.

Bald Mountain, Dedham Maine was updated with another listing.  I've also added 21 newly found lost Maine ski areas, thanks to a 1969 guide that Dave Hilton sent me.  Many of these have limited information, though, so if anybody remembers these areas, please let me know.  You can check out all of the lost Maine areas by clicking here.
