Guess a ski area in three clues

[skiNEwhere]

Good guess, but no

Hint #4. Due to being forced to sell one of my High Speed lifts, I had to shrink my ski boundary and am currently smaller than when I first opened up.

Tamarack Idaho?

Was foreclosed, bank removed a detachable quad, now open again but has shruk as a result of losing that lift.

But I have no knowledge of it being planned to be the largest in America when built out, its pretty mid sized as far as western areas go.

Correct! They had originally planned to be 11,000 acres by the time they were done with expansion, making it roughly 3,000 acres bigger than Whistler.

Not only did they have to remove a lift, Bank of America won't let them operate another lift either. Sounds like a total shitshow.

Too bad. Looks like a legit resort.

1. I am open for free one day a year.
2. A bunch of triple chairs.
3. Invented something very important

BTW, this thread's been inactive for so long this might be a repeat... IDK.

Thanks for bringing this thread back. I know I've been enjoying it
- Sunday River has a lot of triples.
- Sunday River is free May 1
- Sunday River is really the starting point for all of Les Otten's industry innovations.

waterville?

Think smaller

Hey, wait. Which of the clues doesn't fit Sunday River?

There's only 2 triples at SR. I could point to the object invented at the mystery mountain. You can't correlate a physical invention to Otten's empire.

So it's not Killington I assume? Smaller than WV...hmmm....

Locke Mountain
Quantum Leap
Spruce Peak
3 not 2. How many is a bunch?

And your clue said, "Invented something very important". It didn't say anything about a physical invention.

...and they did invent/patent snowmaking equipment.

- Lays claim to snowmaking innovations (first documented machine-made snow)

Yes! And Free Day is this Sunday!

 

[joshua segal]

Thank you Trailboss for affirming my 3rd point. And I don't mind if Cannonball gives the next clues - but can't you (ss20) admit that my answer was correct?

 

[Cannonball]

And I don't mind if Cannonball gives the next clues -

All you JS, I've got nothing at the moment and would like to see it keep going...

 

[canobie#1]

It wasn't correct because it wasn't what he was thinking of.:dunce:

Plus three triples doesn't count as "a bunch"

True. Everyone knows 3's company. Not sure what a bunch is exactly. 6 if you're using the Brady standard.
