Was there any signs of the old ski trails or t-bar?

The old downhill area is over a mile to the east from Cairn Mountain. It is not visible from there, so I didn’t get a look at it on this outing.
The slopes are overgrown and the entire hill is now restricted as the base area serves as a shooting range for park police. The parking area can be accessed from the northbound lane of the TSP and is often used as a staging area for various parkway projects like the recent Pudding Street exit. The ticket booth / rental center is still visible and I believe the lodge still stands but it is in bad shape. The most current UMP has them scheduled to be torn down. I was able to snag one of the last brochures from the park office that was taken from the old lodge before it was boarded up. The original sign hangs at the concession stand at the beach which also serves cross country skiers when there is enough snow.
