History
This small area stood on the slope the Mountain Wilderness survey calls Monte Crocione, in the comune of Casasco d'Intelvi in the Valle d'Intelvi, with a chairlift and two skilifts facing east and southeast between roughly 1,000 m and 1,200 m. It was privately owned, and was dismissed in 2000 for lack of snow and because the concession came to an end. Unlike most of the sites in the census it did not simply stand and rot - it was partially dismantled in 2005, the year before the surveyors arrived. The opening year is not recorded and course names were never compiled. One caution for contributors: there is a better-known Monte Crocione further north above Tremezzina on Lake Como, which is a different mountain from the one named here, so the coordinates deliberately mark the village of Casasco d'Intelvi, with the site on the slope above it, and should be treated as approximate until someone can pin the lift line itself.
