Name that area in 3 clues

ski_it

It wasn’t cancelled? See what happens when I can’t look up SJ1.0 archives? No memory left. Did you or JD ski it? I’m envious if you did. NESH “It is not known if the ski area will open to the public again in the future.”Next - Head of the Charles Skiway?Edit: Now I’m thinking it sounds like regatta, but I have no answer.

Any more hints?

He who lives in glass houses…

Well, I guess it becomes my turn with my Snows Mtn. guess and here is another softball

1. In the shadow of a larger operating ski area and is NELSAP.

2. It did operate for a season or two in a non-skiing capacity.

3. Name of the area sounds like something going on between Boston and Cambridge this weekend

Sam asked for more clues.  What’s happening between Boston and Cambidge this weekend is the “Head of the Charles Regatta”.  What do the participants do?

Mount Rowe near Gunstock!

Also known as Alpine Ridge.  Your turn.

D’oh!

This area has a lift that was previously at Stowe.
This area is a “relocated” area; meaning that it was opened as a replacement for a previously operating area ran by the same management.
This area didn’t have any overhead-cable lifts until the 80s.

NJSki

Lyndon Outing Club has their old T-Bar

NewEnglandSkier13

Yes, that was an easy one!

NJSki

OK, should be an easy one:1.Has not had a new lift installed in decades 2. At one time, it could have taken you 3 lifts to get to the summit3. Beginners area is now serviced by its third lift with the same name

ski_it

Pico, VT?1. 1988 - 2. IDK - 3. Gnomes Knoll - ok probably not the beginners area.

joshua_segal

Waterville Valley:

1. Last new lift: 1990’s

2. 3 lifts to the summit: Pasture J-Bar to White Peaks Double, to High Country

3. Don’t understand this clue.

NJSki

ski_it gets it in 50 minutes. Nice! Pico it is1. Last new lift was Summit Express in 19882. Lower Chairlift > Birch Glade Double > Summit Poma3. Gnomes Knoll T-Bar #1 > Gnomes Knoll T-Bar #2 > Gnomes Knoll Triple (I always think of everything over there on the right as the beginners area)

Oh no!   WAG - I just thought of old big mountains. Ok:1. Has been open over 60 years. Well, if it snows.2. When you look at the area’s geography, it would not make you think of this name (not mountain or mount either). Edit: I messed up saying opposite of the name.3. It has night skiing.4. See my signature.

How about Pinnacle in Pittsfield, Maine? All of 100 feet high. According to NELSAP it’s been open since the 60s and has no snowmaking. In my youth I lived just 30 miles from it and don’t think I ever heard of it.

ski_it

Pinnacle is correct :D Open in 1954. Funny when I was there some members never heard of Mt Baker only 50 mins away and a progression up.

OK this is another area in Maine that I didn’t ski. I drove down there one day after the only time I skied at Mt. Abram, the snow was too sticky so I quit early and went to  Mt. X to have a look. The lifts were still running and now I wish I’d bought a ticket. I think there are three clues in there somewhere.

NewEnglandSkier13

Black Mountain or Shawnee Peak?

joshua_segal

In ME: Powderhouse
2. Lifts (not chairlifts?) still running: Powderhouse
3. Wish I had bought a ticket (implying not a large price): Powderhouse

Hidden clue above that was too well hidden: I haven’t skied in Maine in many years.
