Name that area in 3 clues

skelley19

Oh haha that makes more sense than what I was picturing! I was trying to figure out how a lift was partially in use at a NELSAP'd area and not thinking about it being relocated/parted out.

It was a WAG, but narrowed the field knowing NES13's stomping grounds...

Here's the next one

1) The mountain the ski area is on shares its name with a small NY ski area.
2) It's 2 mountains in one (and very nearly 3)
3) The ski area is named for a person

Bretton Woods almost fits, but it is named after the location, which is in turn named after an estate in England, not a person.

Where in New York is Ellenburg ski area? My searches are turning up nothing.

Nope

1) Mt. Ellen is not the name of the ski area in NY I am referring to; there is no ski area in NY named Mt; Ellen
2) Sugarbush does fit this, yes
3) Mt. Ellen is not the name of the ski area. It is Sugarbush, so no

Keep thinking!

Before it became Sugarbush North, it was called Glen Ellen; but apparently you are looking for an identical name!

Yes, and USGS name of the mountain is Mt. Ellen. There is no ski area in NY named Mt. Ellen. There is a ski area (and the mt. it is on) in NY that has the exact same USGS name as the mountain the ski area I am looking for has.

Farmer Snow

Ah, so close. You have the right area I am looking for (Mt. Snow, named for farmer) and the name of the mountain it is on (Pisgah), though Snow Ridge is not named Mt. Pisgah, Mt. Pisgah Ski Center in Saranac Lake is.

So, you got it, since in past ones we did not have to have the guesser correctly justify each clue.

Correct answers to each:
1) Mt. Pisgah and the eponymous Ski Center in Saranac Lake, NY
2) Mt. Snow gobbled up Carinthia, and there was talk of Haystack at one point
3) farmer Snow, as per NESkiing History

You are up!

I guess I'm confused. According to USGS maps, Mount Snow is located on a mountain called "Mount Snow," not Pisgah.

was going off this: https://www.newenglandskihistory.com/Vermont/mtsnow.php

Name of the mountain is/was Mt. Pisgah, according to the article. If my USGS reference was off and it is officially Mt. Snow, then I will run away to my winter home on the Gulf of America B)

It was Mt. Pisgah when the ski area was built. Renamed in 1954.

I should amend my post to read: "The original name of the mountain this ski area is on is the same as that of a small NY ski area and the mountain it is on."

Moving on...

1) lift is the only one of its kind ever used in NE
2) has commanding view of an open ski area
3) very limited trail system

1) Only Inclined RR (bits and pieces of it remain)
2) If there is a "commanding view of an open ski area", it would be McIntyre
3) True for area I am suggesting
