Crotched is so close, but I think the double was late 60’s.

<blockquote class=“Quote” rel=“Snowmaster”>Crotched is so close, but I think the double was late 60’s.</blockquote>The double is 1969 and they have multiple Riblet lifts.

Not anymore, right? The fixed quad is Riblet, the Double Hall and the Detachable Doppelmayr. Still, no pre-'65 lift.

<blockquote class=“Quote” rel=“Chuckstah”>Black Mtn Of Maine</blockquote>Yes it is! They have a JW Penney and Sons t-bar that was installed in 1961, a 1983 Von Roll double that was previously installed as the Crawford Double at Bretton Woods, and a 2004 Doppelmayr-CTEC triple chair.

I wasn’t sure where the chair came from, but it fit the other clues.  Anyone with something ready can go.

After the recent spate of esoterica, here is a softball:

1. Has been used for sking since the 30s.

2. Formally became a commercial ski area in the 60s

3. First chairlift in the 80s

You’re right.  I thought if I mentioned that early trails were CCC cut, it would be way too easy too guess what I was really thinking of.

Would that be Wachusett?

Yes, indeed, but I give you double credit for nailing Ward also!

You said, “1. One of New England’s newest ski areas.”

As far as I know, the last new area of any significance in New England was Bretton Woods in 1973.  What time frame are you thinking of with the term “newest”?
