Name that area in 3 clues

lotsoskiing

No right answers. Crotched might fit but not what I am looking for. Not a name of a piece of topography, but the type of feature.

Riparian feature, to be more precise, but that gives it away a bit...

lotsoskiing;c-68105 wroteOK next one:

1) NELSAP but lift still standing
2) Named for a type of topographic feature
3) Located near an open ski area that itself was sold, reopened under a sort-of new name, then sold again.

Timber Ridge?

I've got it! It must be Oxbow. Good one!

Bingo!
1) T-bar still behind house; totally grown in.
2) Oxbow is a river meander
3) Bolton Valley/Bolt'n

Okay, here's mine with a somewhat similar list of clues:

1. This lost ski area is in New England, but is not listed on NELSAP.
2. This ski area's main lift is still standing and is almost entirely intact.
3. The hill/mountain that this ski area was on is named after a vegetable.

I think I have it but will hold off and let others take a whack at it.

This one is tripping me up. Kimball Union fits #2 (lift still on property, though cable snapped) and #3 (on Potato Patch Hill), though unfortunately it is listed on NELSAP. Time to keep looking!

Kimball Union is not it. That looks like a really cool homemade platter pull though!

Yes, that's it! Tater Mountain was located on Potato Hill in Temple. Although it's been closed for close to 50 years, the lift is still almost completely intact. Here is my trip report from 2021: https://www.snowjournal.com/discussion/3316/tater-mountain-9-28-2021

Lifts were removed at the time it was converted to a park I believe. The T was on lookers left and the rope tow on the right as shown in the pic on this write up.
OK. I was going off NELSAP listing, which said nothing of the lift removal and has a pic of the bullwheel of the t-bar

Perhaps something is still standing that can't be seen in that pic. I will take my family for a hike over there once things dry out this spring and see if I can find anything remaining.
