Guess a ski area in three clues

Since the "Guess the Ski Area" thread seems to have died, let's try something a little different. Instead of a photo, give three clues. The person with the correct answer gets to provide clues for the next area.

So to kick it off:
1) I was late to the game - opening in the 1960's.
2) I have no detachable quads.
3) The Appalachian Trail crosses my summit - but doesn't cross any of my ski trails.

Hmm... I didn't check the Appalachian Trail part, but if that's true then Saddleback is probably correct, but it's not the ski area that I had in mind.

The AT goes over the top; I don't know when Saddleback opened.

Saddleback opened in 1960. So you were correct - but it wasn't the one I was thinking of. Still... that's pretty impressive.

Extra points for me 😉

You must be thinking of an area down in PA or lower.
