Alright here’s one, I promise no poets involved here. Since we were in Connecticut, we might as well start in Connecticut. We won’t be there long.
1. Mountain and subsequent ski area named for a famous son of Connecticut. I suppose he may not be that famous anymore. He played an interesting role in the aftermath of an historic event. The event is best known for someone else and is a household name. That more famous name is now the name of a town, state park, and county which you could say is (relatively) close to the ski area I’m talking about.
2. Ski area built in the 1950s at the location of a rope tow that operated during the 1930s. The first and for a long time only lift at the area was a chairlift. It was used for summer sightseeing for a year or two before it opened for skiing.
3. This ski area had the first halfpipe in the state. To cut and groom it, they shared a Dragon pipecutter thingy with a neighbor ski area in the next state.
Not in Connecticut, not in New England for that matter. Although the namesake for the mountain is buried in Connecticut.
