Not sure if you were referring to my question, it is not though. Hint, it is still on the mountain and in working condition



Ummm....I'm lost too Scotty, can you turn your translator on? :D



Hunter mountain was the first to develop snow making I believe.

Where and what year did Yan install its last chairlift in New England?


Aurora Quad at Sunday River in 1991 - and Sunday River was my guess before I did a google search on Yan installs - the 1991 thing makes me feel OLD though ;)

Sticking with the Yan theme, what New England Ski Area still has the most operating Yan lifts (and I'll include retro fitted orginal Yan High speed quads in the final answer)?

I'd say KP, but it might be Mount Snow.

What was Les Otten's first resort purchase, after Sunday River, to begin what would later become the American Ski Company?

And not Northeast, but what was the last resort that ASC owned before finally dissolving?

First was either Attitash or Sugarbush, i think they were right around the same time. Last one was the canyons.

Regulators forced ASC to spin off which NH ski areas in order to prevent monopoly concerns?
