Guess a ski area in three clues

[vermonter44]

Ascutney

Yup

1. I am a member of NELSAP
2. I had a funny looking quad.
3. My skiers had to walk up and across one of my main trails to get to my base lodge.

 

[deadheadskier]

Temple?

 

[Quietman]

Temple?

Yes, the mountain of the gods..... The quad was 2 doubles bolted to a center bar, never seen another one like it. It is reported to be still in service at Nashoba.

Having to hike up hill across a major trail was interesting. But it was a classic local area.

Here is a look at the hike required to the "base' lodge.

 

[deadheadskier]

Was a cool small place. Glad I got to ski it.

If you want to sleep in, go ahead. I do not open until noon at the earliest.

I have no snowmaking at all

When mother nature opens me you can shred 3 trails and 120 vert of gnar

Correct. Aspen Mtn banned snowboarding until 2001. The first clue was a reference to dumb and dumber where Lloyd says "Aspen......mmmmm, California. Not sure if anyone picked that up

That's right! Forgot about that! I think the movie was filmed in Park City...

Checked out their facebook page and it appears they actually do have snowmaking. Looks like it may be a homemade setup.

Picture must be for show. My brother in law has lived around the corner from there for ten years. Never seen them make snow. I drove by today and it was quite busy. Run completely by volunteers. Nice place to learn when mother nature provides

Not only does Powderhouse have snowmaking (as soposkier pointed out), they also have twice the vertical you suggested as per SnoCountry!

I wonder how "soposkier" got the right answer with 2 of 3 wrong clues?

This article says 175. Wikipedia says 120: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powderhouse_Hill_(ski_area)

I pulled the info from wiki and I think 120 is accurate. No way it's 240. Wiki also said no snowmaking. Of course Wiki can be full of errors and thus it hadn't been updated to list the addition of some equipment just last year.

According to New England Ski History they "experimented" with a snowmaking system last year. It must not have been to extensive. I asked my BIL if he ever has seen snow made there in the past 10 years living down the street and he said no - mother nature only.

2) Miracle Mile
3) Midstation
