 That project never advanced, but instead, a group of private investors bought the land and opened Cave Mountain Ski Area in 1960.Three years later, ownership was transferred to Bob and Tom Sheridan, who opened a ski lodge on the property and introduced snowmaking that initially covered 12 acres.In 1981, Irv Naylor, the owner and founder of Snow Time, Inc., purchased the ski area and renamed it Ski Windham.
