McIntyre Ski Area is a city-owned ski area located in Derryfield Park in Manchester, New Hampshire, United States. It opened in 1971 with two chairlifts and a rope tow, and was operated by the city until 2009, when they leased the area and management rights to McIntyre Ski School, Inc. for a 25-year period. The area has a ski school, snow tubing, skiing and snowboarding, and a shop, which opened in 1992.〔(McIntyre Ski Area - About Us )〕 The hill has of vertical elevation. Like many New England ski areas, it is open outside the ski season to host conferences, weddings and other events. == History == Manchester began seeking a ski facility as early as 1962, when discussions began with the New Hampshire State Parks. Plans for a facility on the nearby Mt. Uncanoonuc fell through, and the city went forward with a development of its own, opening McIntyre a few years later with three runs, two Hall double chairlifts, a handle tow and a brand new lodge. In 1978 McIntyre Ski School, Inc. was formed, to cater to the beginner skier.〔(New England Ski History )〕〔(McIntyre Ski Area - About Us )〕The area was named after T. Edward McIntyre, the first superintendent of the Parks & Recreation Department, and the main force behind starting the Manchester Babe Ruth League. Since taking over management, McIntyre Ski School has installed Magic Carpet lifts and snowmaking equipment. A new base lodge was built for the 2010-2011 season. The opening sequence of ''In Your Eyes'' ''(2014)'' was filmed at McIntyre on 5 March 2012. For the 2014-2015 season McIntyre upgraded their snowmaking system, by upgrading the water lines and purchased an additional snow gun. They also added a secondary motor in each ski lift, making them capable of running at a lower speed when necessary. Energy efficient lighting was also installed in some areas. 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「McIntyre Ski Area」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
