Evan Dybvig Buys Whaleback Ski Area
The Randolph Herald reports that Tunbridge-bred Olympic skier Evan Dybvig announced this week that he will purchase Whaleback Mountain Ski Area in Enfield, N.H.
Dybvig, now a resident of Bethel, plans to re-open Whaleback next year both as a ski area and as a four-season resort specializing in serious training for various freestyle sports.
The 154-acre Whaleback has been dormant since 2001, after nearly 30 years as a neighborhood ski area. For 11 years it has been owned by Timothy Herbert, who found that he didn’t have the time and energy to run it and closed it three years ago. However, he wanted it to continue as a ski area and sold it to Dybvig Dec. 8.
Dybvig had a career as one of the United States’ most dazzling and recognizable champions in freestyle skiing. He was the U.S. National Mogul Champion in 1994 and 2000, and won the Jonny Moseley Invitational in 1998. He was a member of the U.S. Olympic Team in both 1998 and 2002.
He hopes to use his expertise and contacts to create an exciting center for freestylers in many sports.
Presently, he is a freestyle coach at Stratton Mountain." Read the complete story here.
