After 1967

OK.  I’ll suggest Quechee fits all 3 clues.  (But I hardly think that 45 years-old is in the category of “new”.)

NewEnglandSkier13

Yes, it is Quechee!

1. In the first post-ASC years, this area competed successfully for “first-to-open-in-the-east” honors.

2. The area is as much about tennis as it is about skiing

3. By the standards established by this forum, the area would be categorized as small.

Oh, easy, the Woodbury Ski and Racquet Club!Thanks for the lob, Joshua, because I’ve been wanting to do this one for a while:1. The mountain it’s named after is only half as high as the one it’s on. (Consult your topo maps.)2. It’s operating but not listed at Skitown.com.3. It has a nice view of a power plant.Since No. 2 isn’t much of a clue, I have a vague and confusing clue in reserve if needed.

Well, I was thinking of Tapawingo, but OK :-)

Mount Greylock Ski Club fits the clues!

My clues Sam? I think you read it backwards, Mt Greylock is many times higher than the Mt. Greylock Ski Club.

NewEnglandSkier13

Hmmm, how about that other hint?

mapnut

OK. You might expect them to have great cookies and muffins in the base lodge, but I have no idea whether they actually do.

Mt Baker?

mapnut

There you go! I wonder whether any Snowjournalist has skied it. Little Mt. Baker, only 200 feet high, is across the road from the ski slope in Moscow, ME. It looks out over the Wyman hydroelectric dam on the Kennebec River.

Ski it, it’s your turn.

Dang! “I wonder whether any Snowjournalist has skied it.” I’ve been there 3 times and skied it once. See my trip report on SJ 1.0. Can I pass? You guys are better at this

Well since it’s not my turn (but ski-it passed), I’ll offer a one-clue trivia question:

What is the largest vertical drop area in the east served only by surface lifts? (By surface lifts, I am referring to T/J-Bars, pomas, or even carpets.  I am not referring to legs, railroads, or Snow Cats.)  

NewEnglandSkier13

Hickory

Your turn!

All of the chairlifts at this area were installed after 1980.
This area has a rare lift made by a still in business manufacturer.
The main lodge at this area was majorly expanded in 2003.
