Sundown: Hurry Down Sundown

Blue Hills: Blue Moon

Sunday River: Never on a Sunday

Any of thesde?

Sorry I should elaborate!  Snowmaster got it via the first clue.

Open and in New England  LOON

 1. One of my lifts is part of a Broadway musical:    

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

 2. If you’re as clumsy as I am, you ride with Elvis: 

 Loons are terribly clumsy on land.  Green terrain serviced by Little Sister lift (an Elvis hit song) and the Kissin Cousins lift (Elvis movie)  also could be construed as “family” lifts.

 3. I started with Good Vibrations, and I’m a Believer

These songs came out in 1966 and both hit #1 in December 1966, when Loon started operating. Only three currently open areas started in 1966.  Trackbiker was picking areas that opened in 1964/65

   I have my own “song”:  Loon song

Snowmaster

And I spent so long trying to make the other clues fit with Jesus Christmas Superstar ;-)

I once came close to connecting with another ski area, but it didn’t work out.
I once had a trail that was on the map, but not lift served.
I have a lift line that’s had 4 lifts on it.

Stowe

Areas that were close enough to merge that didn’t work out:

Mad River Glen/Glen Ellen

Killington/Pico

Killington/Round Top

Mt. Snow/Haystack

Stowe/Smugglers

Diamond Hill/Snow Valley

Gunstock/Mt. Rowe

Areas that merged, but the merger failed long term:

Magic/Timber Ridge

Crotched/Onset

Can we assume it is one of the pairs listed above?

Agree with Rick– Stowe

IBRAKEFORTBARS

What trail on Stowe had four lifts on it?

Snowmaster

Stowe had the Single, Double, the Fourrunner and the new HSQ replacement. If Stowe once had a trail on the map that wasn’t lift served, I wasn’t aware of it, and it’s not the area I have in mind.

That is a pretty comprehensive list you’ve got there, Joshua! Which might be a good for for the other clues?

rickbolger

the 1963 stowe trail map shows Rim Rock as just kind of out there  Linky  but knowing a little about Stowe I imagine it was accessed by some torturous path off Nose Dive

I could try to shoehorn Mount Snow into this, but it’s a stretch on all three clues.

Killington has had a bunch of lifts on snowshed, and there were a couple of ski-down trails from condos on their topo style trail map.  Plus the Pico thing, I believe they drew up a tentative map  I’ve seen somewhere

So I’ll go with Kmart as my next guess.

IBRAKEFORTBARS

Ah, yes! Snowshed in the 80s had three Poma double chairs and, tucked between Showshed and Yodeler, was the beginner pomalift.

Snowmaster

I didn’t know that about Rimrock. Was it a CCC trail? Must confess, these clues could reasonably fit more areas than the one I’m thinking of.

Let’s narrow it down: you’ll be reminded of fake sugary orange juice near my base area.

I think this might be another case where the clues are non-unique.  So far, I would say, Killington, Stowe and Mt. Snow are all correct answers for the three clues.

rickbolger

Well I think the last clue refers to the Sunnyside Double AKA “SunnyD” chair at Sugarbush

mapnut

I say Glen Ellen/Sugarbush North. The lower liftline had a double, a quad, a short quad and a new quad - maybe the only liftline that ever had 3 quads? The liftless trail went up toward Mad River. I don’t know about the T’angle, but there is a Sugar Run at the bottom.

bmwskier

Mad River and Glen Ellen– has a line above Inverness that wasn’t developed

Talked about hooking up with MRG

I think four lifts served GMX– the first double, _______, the slug, and the current lift. 

Snowmaster

Glen Ellen it is. Lower FIS below the Travers back to the base area was on the map for many years.

Damn– yours didn’t show up on my screen before I posted Mapnut. I think I had the page open for a while before posting.
