Wow, I got it right!

Just sorting out where we are, I think it's IBRAKE's question.

rickbolger

His "answer" was incorrect

IBRAKEFORTBARS

What east coast lift manufacturer was an early (as in late 60s/early 70s) adopter of computer modelling and the use of very crude fax style communication to installation crews while on site?

rickbolger

Looks like you've moved on? Perhaps my question was too difficult?

Answer: This New England ski hill offers a vintage television show, a timepiece, and Sylvania plays a role.

What is Magic Mountain? A guess, as I was able to get 2 of 3 clues:
1. Vintage TV Show: Twilight Zone
2. Timepiece: Albert H. POTTER watches
3. Sylvania: ?? Can't find a connection there

That's definitely the idea! Two of them are on track but not quite it. You're in the right state.

#2 could also be a football player, but that could get confusing. Stick with time piece.
#3 has nothing to do with appliances nor the brand nor the town in Ohio, it borders Freedonia.

You're going to have to explain that answer Pinky. I could have WAGd either Snow or Stratton with their clock towers too. What vintage TV show did Mt Snow offer that had the Marx brothers in it?

rickbolger

the time piece is actually located elsewhere

Whose answer is incorrect and to what question? There seems to be some confusion

As best as I can sort out, the following is the current question:

First tracks in 2-months? Ridiculous! I'm planning to be skiing at Killington in 3 1/2 weeks!

NO, stick with Rick's question. IBRAKE was wrong.
Although I don't have the answer...
There's a Duck Soup at Stratton and it has clock tower, but that's a film not a Vintage TV Show?? And "You Bet Your Life" sounds like a horrible ski trail name.
Was there a football player named Timex? Anyway can't wait for someone to solve this one. Only 35 more areas to guess, assuming it is still operating..

Stratton must be it, as Big Ben is a trail and a timepiece. Don't know what trail matches the old TV show though

Yep. Gentle Ben trail too, that's a vintage TV show. And isn't there a certain footballer who plays for a PA team called Big Ben? I guess the Sylanvia connection is thru the Marx Brothers "Duck Soup". Er I mean... What is Stratton Mountain? If that's right go ahead xlr8r cause you got 2 out of 3, and I saw Big Ben a while ago and dismissed it.

You got it by identifying Duck Soup, take the credit and next question.

As much as I love skiing, I'll wait for some hoar frost behind my condo if Killington doesn't open before that.
