Thunderhead
Haverhill, Massachusetts · opened 1961lost 1967
Future History Thunderhead was a relatively brief, rope tow ski area that operated off of East Broadway in the Riverside section of Haverhill. Located just north of the Merrimack River, this area taught many local residents how to ski. Steve Ellis was on the Ski Patrol and gave us some great insight as to the history of this area. It operated no sooner than 1962, with only one trail on the north slope of the hill.
