Laurel Mountain Ski Resort was a ski resort located in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, United States. The resort was adjacent to the Laurel Mountain Village, Pennsylvania and it was the primary attraction of Laurel Mountain State Park. ==History== The resort was originally founded as a getaway for members of the Rolling Rock Club, an organization made up of the richest and most prominent citizens in Pennsylvania. The original runs were designed during the winter of 1939–1940 and the resort was first opened for skiing during the 1940–1941 ski season. Over the years many more runs and ammentities were added to the resort. The resort was opened to the public in 1958, and then turned over to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1964, on the condition that that no summer programs or overnight lodging would be allowed. The resort was closed for a decade from 1989 to 1999. Its opening for the 1999–2000 season featured a new lodge built at the top of the mountain. Mild winters and financial troubles caused the resort to close again for the 2003–2004 season. It was opened during the 2004–2005 season under the operation of nearby Seven Springs Mountain Resort, but closed again after a money-losing winter. In August 2008, Seven Springs entered into an agreement to once again operate the resort, based on a promise of $6.5 million in funding from the state for infrastructure improvements.〔 The resort plans to open for the 2012–2013 season, once chairlift, snowmaking, electrical and trail upgrades are completed. Due to an agreement with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, which still owns the land the resort is on, no lodging can be built in the immediate vicinity of the resort. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Laurel Mountain Ski Resort」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
