Suicide Six: Ski resort will get new name

The Suicide Six name will be retired this summer. The resort team embraces the increasing awareness surrounding mental health and shares the growing concerns about the insensitive nature of the historical name. The feelings that the word “suicide” evokes can have a significant impact on many in our community.

The Suicide Six Ski Area has an enduring legacy spanning nearly nine decades, and it is vital that the name better represents and celebrates what makes it a beloved and vibrant part of this community.

After much thought and consideration, research and community outreach, a new name has been developed and will be announced in the coming weeks.

This change is being made with great care and respect.
