Not that I know of.

I don't know, but their lifts are definitely not all manufactured by the same company.

Here's another hint: The lift in storage was made by a different company than the lifts in operation. All of the chairlifts at this area (both operating and in storage) were made by companies which no longer exist.

I think we should know this one...one mfr can't be common....seems like chairs in storage have been discussed before... Plymouth with their one Mueller chair?

Yep! Both of their operating chairlifts are Hall, but the have a Borvig triple from Sunday River in storage. The plan is that it will replace the old T-bar.

After 24 pages and no responses since Oct. 17, I'm letting this thread go. Perhaps we can do another one next summer when things get slow. With November on the horizon, we should soon start to see Snow Reports, complaints about the ski shows not having enough swag, complaints that the magazines aren't what they used to be - and fear that end is near every time temps go above 40. In short: It's a new season gang!

All wrong, sorry! ;-)

Lol I wouldn’t doubt it at all! Especially anything south of Connecticut. I eagerly await the answers.

Seemed like a lot of good answers, tough one to figure out what's correct.

I found this Google map that looks to be somewhat accurate.

Looks like Shawnee PA is less than 2 miles from the AT in NJ.

This map does a nice job and easy to measure stuff....

okay so 7 out of 14?.... Yes I found that map near the end. My problem was knowing where southern ski areas lie. I had a problem estimating the distance to Mt Creek too but I don't think it is much closer than the 3.4 mi +- 0.3 listed.

jaytrem

Yeah, I have no clue if we missed any southern ones. A southern mountain don't need me around anyhow.

where the skis are so blue?
