  • Delete per nom. Stoic atarian 07:55, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Almost all ski areas meet the notability standard, since they are covered in multiple, reliable secondary sources, e.g. Ski and Skiing magazines, plus local and regional newspapers with large circulations. It is simply a matter of someone doing the legwork needed to dig up these sources, which are not always sitting online. There is no need to serially list one ski area after another at AfD. Our efforts would be better spent locating the sources and improving the articles than having AfD debates about them. --Seattle Skier (talk) 08:45, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment I do agree that many ski resorts meet the notability standard...but this doesn't seem to be one of them C5mjohn 18:57, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep According to this article, this was apparently the site of the 2004 U.S. cross-country championships, and seems to be a nationally important cross-country venue. They held a Maine collegiate event this year that was important enough for the Maine governor to present the trophy. Carl Lindberg 14:26, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Seattle Skier. Stoodended 03:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I dug up several more references on the ski area, and instead of listing them here I just went ahead and expanded the article. Carl Lindberg 07:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
