New Hermon Mountain recently announced the sale of its season passes with the caveat that the ski area will close after this season if a new owner is not found.
The mountain on Newburgh Road in Hermon first opened to the public for skiing in 1960 and was later modernized with three chairlifts serving 20 marked trails, a tubing hill and a lodge.
The 67.5-acre ski area property and business have been for sale since 2022 and are currently listed for $2.1 million.
In a message on the mountain’s homepage, the owners said this will be their last year owning and running the ski area.
“We are still hopeful that someone will be able to purchase it and keep it a ski area before the end of this coming season but if not we will be closing it down and looking for alternatives to selling it, i.e. house lots or something like that,” the message said.
