Whaleback, a nonprofit ski hill in Enfield , needs to raise more than $200,000 by December in order to open this winter, in part due to its chairlift still being out of commission.

The organization expects to see operating losses of $300,000 without the lift, the organization said in a Wednesday afternoon social media post. To help cover those anticipated losses, Whaleback is seeking to raise $210,000 by Dec. 1.

“Without these funds, we don’t see a financially viable path to maintaining operations all winter long and these losses would clearly create a serious challenge to our long-term survival as a ski area,” the post said.
