History:
Kendall Mountain was first developed in 1954 by the Grand Imperial
Hotel. The area did not open until 1961 and was listed in operation in
1963, 64, 68, 69, 75 and 1977-82 when the area was discovered to be
operating without a permit. The area recently reopened during the late
1990's.
Overview:
Kendall Mountain offers a small family type atmosphere perfect for small
children to grasp the sport of skiing. The area typically operates Fridays
through Sundays including holidays when the snow permits. Other
activities include an ice skating rink, snowboard park, cross-country
skiing, and snowmobiling.
