I agree with Whiteface, but Stratton as an alternative. Their gondola shuts down a lot, doesn't get as much snow as northern VT areas, and can get pretty icy on their narrower/twisty trails.

I was rather enjoying this thread, which seems to have been abandoned, so rather than just do a "bump", here are three clues.
!. The ski area has an operating lift that was shortened.
2. The ski area owns a nearby ski area
3. The ski area was named for the town in which it is located
!. The ski area has an operating lift that was shortened.

Right on:
1. HSQ shortened due to wind
2. Snows Mountain right there and even open one day this winter
3. Waterville Valley: Inc. 1829
I figured I'd get one bite on Killington; but the town was named after the ski area - not vice verse.
It was originally Killington, then Sherburne, then back to Killington in 1999.

I didn't realize that, but even so, in 1958, when Killington became a ski area, the name of the town was Sherburne (and had been from 1800 to 1999), so I think the clue still eliminated Killington - but maybe not.
jully - please give the next 3 clues!
That and I don't think that Killington has shortened a HSQ. Rams Head was a new HSQ that just ended lower than the double. So that would probably rule out Killington.

The actual clue was "The ski area has an operating lift that was shortened" and I was thinking of the Sunrise Chair of which there is a minimal remnant.
I think I saw it's completely gone. I recall there being a shortened version.

Okay this might be lame, but here we go!!:
1. Has no high speed quads.
2. In the early 2000s, due to a lack of use, a quad was removed.
3. It's parent company has issued two different NYSE IPOs in it's lifetime (but not necessarily while it owned said area).

It's called, "The Sunrise Village Triple" and from their trail/lift report, it is actually scheduled to operate from 9 to 3 tomorrow.
That makes sense. Always forget it's all HS6 there
Ah. Good point. As DHS said, I don't think there are any HSQ's there anymore.
OK. I had seen that they were selling chairs from it, so must be they replaced them.

Yup! Easy to forget about the lack of HSQs and they removed Kidderbrook in 2006/7. Intrawest was in the New York Exchange till it was delisted after being purchased in the early 2000s and then they just recently did another IPO.
