<p>In a little-known Hugh Grant movie, “The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain”, a town in Wales hired a surveyor to prove that their hill was at least 1,000 feet high, which would qualify it as a mountain (by British standards?) That seems about right if it starts near sea level. Thus Ragged Mountain (the Camden Snow Bowl) would qualify at 1,300 feet, but Suicide 6 which is 1,360 feet ASL wouldn’t because it’s far inland and only 600 feet above its valley. Lots of Great Lakes region ski areas are above 1,000 altitude but I think they should be measured from the Great Lakes level, about 600 feet. Boyne Mountain is 1,150 feet ASL. Not a mountain. </p><p>Just an aside, the Pocono Mountains are not mountains at all despite getting to 2,100 feet ASL; they’re a plateau with a few protrusions. Camelback is a mountain because it’s where the plateau drops down toward the Delaware River valley. El. 2133.</p>
