Mount Tom Ski Area was a ski resort in Holyoke, Massachusetts, in the Mount Tom Range in the western part of Massachusetts about 10 miles north of Springfield. It opened in 1962 and closed in 1998. The slopes of the former ski area are located off U.S. Route 5 in the Smith's Ferry neighborhood of Holyoke, adjacent to the former Mountain Park, now a music venue. Both Mountain Park and Mt. Tom were once owned by the O'Connell Construction Company. It was rumored that Mt. Tom was created so that the company could keep seasonal workers working during the winter and keep them available for the summer construction season. Since its closure arsonists have destroyed much of the former resort's buildings. In late 2016, a brush fire burned on the former ski slopes, burning mostly loose brush. No bui

Mount Tom Ski Area was a ski resort in Holyoke, Massachusetts, in the Mount Tom Range in the western part of Massachusetts about 10 miles north of Springfield. It opened in 1962 and closed in 1998. The slopes of the former ski area are located off U.S. Route 5 in the Smith's Ferry neighborhood of Holyoke, adjacent to the former Mountain Park, now a music venue. Both Mountain Park and Mt. Tom were once owned by the O'Connell Construction Company. It was rumored that Mt. Tom was created so that the company could keep seasonal workers working during the winter and keep them available for the summer construction season. Since its closure arsonists have destroyed much of the former resort's buildings. In late 2016, a brush fire burned on the former ski slopes, burning mostly loose brush. No buildings caught fire in that event. However from 2016 on, several smaller shacks were burned to the ground. In March 2018, the former ski rental shop was completely destroyed by a fire, and on February 23, 2020, the main lodge was almost entirely destroyed. While snowmaking equipment and chairlifts have been removed, small numbers of skiers in recent years have continued to ascend the area's slopes on foot. In 2017, a proposal from a local-area resident was brought to the city planning board's attention to re-open the ski area. As of 2022, no proposals have been successful.
