Guess the ski area

[Edd]

guess this one

I want to go to there....

 

[Nick]

For selfish reasons, this is me as a kid, wondering where this was.

Not sundown, is it? It's likely a resort in VT.... possibly CT or MA.

Maybe ski baba at mt sneaux? It looks like the crossarms of that chairlift are triangular though, if that is the case it's not. Do you remember if that lift had safety bars? lol

 

[Nick]

no way do I remember, haha. Could be mt snow.

Growing up the usual culprits were:

mount snow
killington
mt tom
sundown
magic

I might be wrong, but it looks like one of the lifts at Snowbasin. For whatever reason they redid all the base terminals to look like that. The base terminal rebuild was Doppelmayr, but the lift was a Hall Double IIRC.

It most certainly is. And you are right about it being retrofitted by Doppelmayr, but the lift was originally built by Thiokol, a company I had never heard of. After looking them up, I found out their two primary products they sold were chairlifts, and missile's for the military. They probably figured out it was more profitable making missile's so they stopped making chairlifts in the late 70's.

First time I saw that I didn't know what to make of it, it was a "fixed-detachable double"

Fun fact, that is the same type of life they used in the movie "Frozen", which was in fact filmed at Snowbasin.

That's not Snow. Lift is a surface lift, probably a Poma which would leave one to think flat & poma = Okemo but I don't think its okemo either

How is that a surface lift???? You can see the chairs

I guess I am going blind. At a quick look it looked like the skier by the second towers was going up is going up. It still isn't snow. Ski Baba's chairs are about 5 feet off the ground and the trail isn't nearly that long.

Nick's oldie looks like Stratton, the gondola view is Whiteface. And the last one, is that Willoughby Gap on the horizon at far left?
