I don’t think this is what you had in mind, but the clues all fit Sunapee if you consider the two main lifts to be their two detachables.</blockquote>The clues can’t fit Sunapee because he used the past tense.

Tyrol or Hogback?

Hogback fits.  I suppose somewhere from that location, there is a river that you can see, but I’m not sure which one(s)!

Dutchess might not be what he is thinking of, but it does fit all 3 clues

Owl’s Head?

Why wouldn’t Dutchess be what I’m thinking of? http://www.slackpacker.com/dutchess.html We had a SJ South hike there 4 years ago, great view of the Hudson River.Wait a minute, I didn’t see your earlier post between the two Bearpen ones. Once again, NJSki is up.

Not the one I was looking for. I guess I was too vague.

Hint #5: No chairlifts at this area

Just a summary of what we are working on:

1. Many trails named after local bodies of water

2. Has operated under two different names

3. At one time, most people had to drive by 2-3 other ski areas to get here from the Interstate

4. No longer operating

5. No chairlifts at this area

Can we assume that on this forum, "no longer operating" imples - not New England

I just started following this thread today. I looked in my 1969 Ski Atlas for this mt. There’s nothing by these names on the map or in the list for Maine. However, I see that Black Mt. near Rumford isn’t there either. I wouldn’t have thought that Black didn’t exist before ’69.

I tried quoting Mapnut but delete parts that I wasn’t commenting on. Nothing got posted!? I’ll just leave the whole quote this time.

I’m looking at my 1969 Ski Atlas. No other mt. other than Saddleback is listed around Rangeley Lake. However, Black Mt. near Rumford isn’t listed. I would have thought it existed before ’69.

An idiosynchasy of SJ2.0’s editor.  I edited your post so that it shows up correctly.  If I got it wrong, you should be able to re-edit it now. Hopefully, I didn’t overstep my “moderator role”.

I recall Black Mountain being Chisholm Winter Park in those days.
