Taylor opened the resort in 1972.[2] Taylor took pride in Woodbury being the first ski area in Connecticut to open each season.[1]
The ski area closed in 2016 following a drought and has not reopened since. It is currently was for sale but has since been bought and its future is uncertain. But may re open in the coming years as work has begun to get the park up and running[3]
