What clues are we guessing on?

I believe this one:mapnut

OK, try this one:

1. You bypass an obscure area to get to this one (but by now, not as obscure as it used to be)2. Driving by, looks like there are at least two very steep runs. Same thing if you drive by in the opposite direction.3. Shares name with me4. 66Not Butternut, Massanutten, Maple Ridge, Bromley, Mt Abrams…I last guessed Cortina because that was quiz #66. Rick guessed Waterville.  I didn’t know mapnut’s name was Valley.I’m handicapped not being able to search SJ 1.0.Snowshoe, WV & Sandia Peak are near Rt 66….

ditto.. I’m lost….

ski_it

I’ve been stuck in reverse for a long time…Ski Chic-Chocs, QU - 66°W longitude

Well, you can all sleep on this tonight and if no one gets it by 10 a.m. tomorrow I’ll assemble the clues into a brute-force exposition that you can’t possibly fail to get.

Hmm, now that’s a clue as to who Admin is! Somebody who knows me. Yes, you drive by Cortina to get to Hunter. 66 was the number of the Cortina quiz in Ski_it’s summary a couple of pages back.

And I was looking forward to the exposition, oh well. Your turn Quint.

<blockquote class=“Quote” rel=“admin”>Crap.  It’s Hunter.  I got all mixed up because of your alma mater.  Senior moment.  What’s the 66 all about?</blockquote>

And what’s the obscure area that one bypasses?

ski_it

Cortina

Since no one is going..,

What area in New England has the lowest base elevation?
Name is tied to current holiday weekend in some way.

I think Yawgoo Valley is the lowest base elevation in New England at 70′.  Not sure how that relates to Thanksgiving except its being an Indian/Native American name.

NewEnglandSkier13

The answer would be Bradford, with a base elevation of about 45 feet above sea level!

ski_it

Bradford it is

And William Bradford was the colonial governor under whose leadership the first Thanksgiving presumably occurred.  Good one ski_it!

Here’s mine:

This area is often branded with another nearby area.
It is currently about 40 degrees at the base of this area.
This area has 100% snowmaking and, when combined with the area that it is branded with, it is 88 skiable acres in total.
