It's Quantum Leap at SR. Never should have been blue even with snow making and grooming. Not sure it's a double either...

Thats the one I was looking for, good job!

Someone else can post another. I got nothing right now.

This is an easy one - just to keep it going, so a correct answer requires naming 3 Maine areas: Boris, there are flies in the sawmill.

Abram, Saddleback, Sugarloaf

Good going Sam. Your question!

On a similar topic, name two operating New England ski areas with most trails named after wildlife.

Wildcat, MRG

Wildcat's theme is anything cat-related, not general wildlife.
MRG counts, but it isn't one that I was thinking of.

joshua_segal

Sidewinder, Alley Cat, Catamount, Lynx, Bobcat and Panther at Catamount.

Snowmaster

Mt. Abram: Moose & Squirrel

Wow. That was Badenov (Bad enough).

NewEnglandSkier13

Catamount is also cat themed, like Wildcat, and Abram is themed after Rocky & Bullwinkle.
I'm looking for 2 New England ski areas with the theme of local wildlife. MRG has already been suggested and I can think of one more in NH and one more in Maine.

I can think of a ski area in Massachusetts where 2/3 of the trails are either directly named after wildlife or wildlife related.

Hmm. All that come my mind re MA:
Blandford has Chipmunk, Hart, Gobbler and Bear.
Bradford has lots of wildlife, but all bees.

Is the area you're thinking of NELSAP?

Here's a clue that should all but give it away: The other two areas that I can think of (one in ME, one in NH) are both in cities.

With that clue, I assume the NH one is McIntyre and the ME one is Lost Valley.

If corporations are people, bees are definitely wildlife.

Seriously, insects are an important component of wildlife and can have major influences on plant and animal distributions.
