On Saddleback's website they claim a base elevation of 2460 ft (wow!) and specifically say that it's the second highest in New England but I can't find who is higher.

I think that's the highest however,that's the base lodge and a lift goes down to about 2300.The top lift elevation is at 4000 so how the hell do they claim 2000 vertical?
Base Elevation: 2,100 feet (highest in the Northeast)
yawgoo?
From Bolton's website:
Now that's some marketing spin.

If you're looking at Google Earth the aerial photo is old, and shows the T-bar area below the lodge, before the quad chair was installed. The T-bar had the 2,300 base elevation. I assume the quad chair goes about 200 feet lower.
according to google earth the K1 base lodge at Killington is at 2535 ft.
Cool,thanks.Still pushing it claiming 2000 vert imo with the lift only at 4000.To the top its close enough I guess.If that's how were going to measure vert then Cannon has almost 2300 vert.Saw that too, you can adjust google earth to show 2011 imagery. The base of the current quad is at about 2140.
I asked Saddleback GM Chris Farmer about this and he didn't know either. Guess it is not too important but it certainly helps to have a base lodge that high.
