Hogadon Ski Area is a long-spanning ski area operation outside of

locals at affordable prices.  The ski area's original name is Casper
Mountain and changed to Happy Hogadon sometime before 1976.  As of
1976, the area operated two T-bars and converted the two main liftlines
to chairlifts.

"Hogadon not only still operates, it's one of the most successful ticket
sellers in the state. It's owned by the city. 2 chairs, one Poma, 605 vertical
feet. The parking is at the top. Most skiers are season pass holders from
Casper (which the area overlooks). It survives via a serious snowmaking
system and intermittent snowfall until mid-March/early May when it tends
to get 3-6 feet of snowfall; often after the city has ceased operations
(they've never caught on to the existing weather pattern).
