Name that area in 3 clues

Good call.

Snowmaster

Sorry, both Magic and Saddleback have had Hall lifts, some of which are still there. Also, both have definitely had T-bars. Out of curiosity, what trail name do they have in common?

Hint #2 Both have a magic carpet and just one other surface lift for skiing.

Your right, I hadn’t thought Magic had a T, but it did. Wizard

I’m thinking that one of the areas might be Jiminy Peak.  They had two T-Bars replaced by a chair.  I’m thinking that was in the late 60s, but I think they grew both up and down.

Would one area be Cannon? Two summit T-bars replaced by a chair.Vertical increased by adding Tuckerbrook beginner area and dropping down

Snowmaster

Neither of the areas has been guessed yet.

Hint #3: the trail name in common is a person’s name

You’ve given plenty of clues, we’re just dumb. Well, there’s a Perry Merrill at Jay & Stowe, but neither is very treesy.

Hint #4: Each area has a signature lift like trams, gondolas and bubble chairs, etc.

Loon? It never had a t-bar.

Suagrloaf the other?

Snowmaster

Loon and Sugarloaf both have lots of logging themed trails, so I’d be surprised if they didn’t share a few trail names. However, they both have Doppelmayr, CTEC, and arguably PHB lifts in common. Loon never did have a T-bar though…

Hint #5: Birds. Bird lake, bird mountain, bird skilifts. One of those 2 T-bar lines is now a bird trail.

NJSki

How about Mt. Snow and Stowe? Yellowbird ExpressCharlie’sMt. Snow=no t-bars

Snowmaster

Both Stowe and Sneaux have Leitner Poma lifts, and I’m pretty sure Mt. Snow did at one time have a T-bar, perhaps at Carinthia?

Hint #6: Both areas’ signature lifts have had substantial upgrade or replacement, one in the 80’s and one more recently.

NewEnglandSkier13

Is one Stratton?

And the other Cranmore?

Snowmaster

You’re mighty close there N.E. Skier… is there a trail name in common among the guesses?

Hint #7: The two T-bars were replaced by a double, but it’s not a double anymore.

NewEnglandSkier13

Any other hints?

Snowmaster

The two areas have been guessed, just need to tie them together with a trail name.

Hint #8: The chair that replaced the 2 T-bars shares a name with a ski area where a detachable chair was removed without replacement.

Snowmaster

Stratton and where now? As soon as you find the right trail you’ll be on Easy Street. Remember, we’re hunting birds here.
