I know alta was founded around that time....but none of the other clues match up.

Take that back....Winter Park fits a rough mold. Been around 75 years, not sure about the quad removed (Summit Express?), and I know they have the highest six pack in North America.

Correct
The resort turned 75 years old this year, but skiing took place around the West Portal of the Moffat Tunnel before that.
Summit Express Lives on as Liberator Express at Mission Ridge
Panoramic Express was the highest six pack when built, but Kensho at Breckenridge is now higher.

Interesting. According to http://www.newenglandskihistory.com/lifts/brandroebling.php they only had a total of 8 chairlifts installed in New England, 4 of which were at Sunapee - and the Duckling Double is the only one still operational.
