Name that area in 3 clues

Snowmaster

I can think of 3 Lines that were cut for gondolas that never got them: Tyrol (was this line ever really cut? Saddleback Sugarloaf (narrow survey line past Bucksaw) Squamish, BC (Brohm Ridge, only partially installed)

Okemo’s map has a gondola line, but I’m pretty sure it was never cut.

Also, did we ever figure out where SLI’s (only?) Gondola was presumably never installed? Chairlift says it was found laid up in Idaho. Maybe a line was cut for it somewhere?

First, I only do northeast.  You have the correct answer in your list.  As far as I know, only one was cut and never used.  It is fully grown in, but you can still see the line because there is a different tree mix in the regrown area.

Hmmm… still lost on 3 lifts to the summit though. Unless you start from below the base of a ski area…

It’s Saddleback!!!

I’m still wondering, where are these t-bars that you’re talking about on Mount Snow?

Saddleback is the answer.  From the bottom (to do 2K vertical), you need to take the West Branch, Rangeley and Kennebago.

The trail map I bring up from Mt. Snow’s web site shows a lift #24 as is a T-Bar by which you could get to the Launch Pad Chairlift.

Now time for my hints! This one may be a bit trickier.

Some of this NELSAP area has been lost to development.
There is a great view from the top which includes a large body of water. This view can be accessed by multiple hiking trails.
This area had snowmaking and multiple Poma lifts. Small parts of the lifts and the snowmaking system still remain today.

Very classy answer re Mt. Snow, Sam.  One of the reasons I prefer SJ to AZ!  I’m thinking the answer to your clues might be Amesbury/Atlantic Forest.

NewEnglandSkier13

Why, yes it is!

The problem with getting the right answers, is that you have to come up with the next set of clues!1. I was the last eastern area to have a catastrophic failure of the haul rope2. I Was a private club for a while3. I am especially well known for my adaptive program.

Yep.  Your turn.BTW, it should give us all a feeling of security on how safe chair lift haul ropes really are.  It’s been 50 years since this failure.

What do you mean by “not a lot of vertical drop”? That could mean many things.

Camden?
