Operated as a private club with public ticket sales. Summit had a t-bar and a couple of rope tows. Later it became the Kandahar Ski Club, again with public ticket sales, and operated under that name until it became a housing development.

As I remember (from the early age of 10 years old) Summit had 4 Rope Tows. 1 each on the Beginner and Intermediate hills and 2 on the advanced slope. The T-Bar was on the far left of the area from the bottom. Of my fond memories I still recall the smells that would engulf the hill, a mixture of wood smoke and the food from the grill (awesome to this day). The grooming that left much to be desired, and , how on the third time I skied there I broke a chunk of wood out of my ski (yes WOOD skies) on the chunks of Ice, and how the next day my Dad had repaired it so I could ski the next weekend. How my first ski club went there from Lake Fenton I think I was in 6th grade. Summit was where I developed my love for skiing, and my determination to make skiing my life long passion. A passion that I still seek to this day.
I just ran there this morning. It would make a great hike too. Follow the power line trail from White Lake Rd (just west of Denton Hill (Adelaide)) and there is a spur up to the subdivision (which is mostly undeveloped still) about 1.5 miles in. It’s a good climb with wonderful views all the way from the start of the trail.
