Peek'n Peak History

The story of Peek'n Peak starts long, long ago… well, almost half a century, in a “town” far, far away… not so terribly far away from Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Buffalo, a band of rebel skiers… Just a minute! I think we have our adventure stories tangled together! Let's try again…

Our adventure story begins in 1963, when several businessmen from the Clymer, NY area discussed the concept of introducing the sport of skiing in the southwestern corner of New York State. The area seemed perfect for a ski resort since it lies in the snow belt just above the ridge of Lake Erie, where warm, moist air is carried from the lake and meets cooler air inland, traditionally depositing over 200” of snow each winter.

Otto Schneibs came down from Lake Placid to design the trail layouts. An Old English theme was adopted — thus, Robin Hood's Retreat, Long Bow, Will Scarlet's Secret, Friar Tuck's Trek, and Little John's Jaunt were the first slopes and trails. Old Road was moved to accommodate the ski areas. The offices and ticket sales were housed in an old school bus. With the name and property in place, and with hopes of attracting not only area skiers, but skiers from Ohio and Pennsylvania areas as well, Peek'n Peak opened in the winter of 1964-65 as a ski resort. Featured were two ski lifts (a J-Bar and a T-Bar), 6 slopes and trails, and a lift ticket price of $4.50 on weekends, $3.00 for the beginner area, and a $.50 discount for weekday tickets! The lifts operated only during the day, since there were no lights on the slopes. The main ski lodge was soon built, and was less than half of the size of today's ski lodge.Peek'n Peak Resort and Spa which was acquired by Scott Enterprises in 2011, is located in Findley Lake, NY.
