Forest and Park Entrances The CCC built many carefully designed forest and park entrances. Most have disappeared over the years as they were made of wood. Two sets of stone entrance pillars that remain are at Harold Parker State Forest and at the entrance to the Sandisfield CCC Camp. Ski Areas The CCC developed several ski areas in Massachusetts to accommodate this newly popular winter sport. These were simple cleared and graded slopes, sometimes with a lodge or warming hut at the top. Most have disappeared with the advent of more sophisticated modern ski areas but several are still extant, although in modified form. These include a trail at Pittsfield near Lulu Cascade and the Thunderbolt and Stony Ledge Trails at Mount Greylock. Ski slopes at Beartown, Chester and Mount Grace are no longer used and have become overgrown and indistinguishable from the surrounding forest. At East Mountain and Wachusett the original ski trails have been obliterated by subsequent regrading to create modern ski facilities. There are also existing CCC ski lodges at Greylock, Wachusett and Pittsfield which are described below. BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES This category includes both buildings (defined as habitable structures) and recreational structures (such as gazebos, pavilions etc.).
