I believe you are remembering Mount Whittier in West Ossipee. They closed in 1985, or so. It was a smaller, but fun mountain. Around the late 70's, or very early 80's, they installed a winding track that supported these little vehicles that rolled down the hill. They really got going. They also had a water park in the summer in their late years.

There is a web site that covers old ski areas that I do not have the address of, but I think you can find it.

I am not aware of anything like that today in the lakes region. A lot of the ski mountains have gone to mountain bike runs in the summer. You go up on the lift and it is all down hill from there.
