Guess a ski area in three clues

[Quietman]

Maple Valley is on the west side of Rt. 30 in W. Dummerston, VT.

Yup, I actually took a skiing class when in college at Keene State, which took place at Maple Valley. I ended up helping to teach the class, and my parent's weren't happy when they found out what they paid for!

If I understand the protocol of this thread, the one who guesses correctly gets to post the next clues. As such, 4aprice, who correctly guessed Quietman's clues, should be the next "clue giver."

Let's see how coy I can be:

I am a 1 lift wonder

I have a 3 digit vertical that ski's bigger then it is.

Many more eyes are lay'd upon me then ski's

Alex

Lake Hopatcong, NJ

 

[xlr8r]

Whaleback?

Whaleback has one chairlift, but they have one or two surface lifts.
Many more eyes are laid upon me then skis probably means that it can be seen from an interstate highway.

The Highlands, Tilton, NH seems to fit. It can be seen from I-93; it has one chairlift - now used only for mountain biking in the summer and it has(d) a 3 digit vertical when it was operational.

Whaleback?

Guess I'm not too coy as the 1'st guess got it. If the whale has more then 1 lift, my apologies.

I defer to your decision and to xlr8r for the next clues, but I am calling, "foul"

 

[rocks860]

Yeah that's the one I'm thinking of. I've been going up that was since high school and its looked the exact same since then

 

[xlr8r]

I have not only glades, but woods as well.
Part of me seems more like the west than the east.
My main lift is now one of a kind.

Stratton

MRG.
Not so sure on the glades + woods part.
A lot of natual skiing, is more western.
I know of only 1 single.

 

[therobertcollins]

Agreed with Mad River

 

[xlr8r]

No correct answers so far

4th clue

I used to have a bunch of doubles but now only have two.

 

[rtjcbrown]

Stowe?

 

[therobertcollins]

Jay maybe?

 

[xlr8r]

Nope not Jay or Stowe, think of the clues more.

 

[deadheadskier]

Hunter? Only summit six pack lift in NY? Also currently has 2 doubles. I'm assuming there was once more.

 

[joshua segal]

I have a feeling this one may be ambiguous. While xlr8r rejected MRG, even his 4th clue still fits MRG.
And Canyon skis a lot like a western area.

On the other hand, Killington also fits if you count the Skyeship as one of a kind and it too has two remaining double chairs!

I think Jay Peak would fit the original clues, but I think Jay only has one double remaining.

 

[deadheadskier]

How is the Skyeship one of a kind? Two stages? Wouldn't the K1 be considered the main lift? I guess that could be considered unique in that it's the only Gondola I'm aware of in the east that summits 4K feet.

The clues are a little ambiguous for sure. I guessed Stratton because it's main lift is unique in that it's a converted gondola. Western aspect would be it has a village at it's base, which is more common out west than the east. The woods vs glades thing stumps me though.

I am amused at how you argued with yourself - and lost the argument!
