Guess the ski area

[xlr8r]

Not FlightSim, just the new version of Google Maps (Not Google Earth)

My first instinct says Bogus???

 

[xlr8r]

Not Bogus Basin

Clue 1: It is a lost area

I was thinking the same. These birds eye view shots are damn near impossible!

Iron Mountain? That the only place big enough that I can think of.

No idea. Clue?

No idea. Clue?

Australia? New Zealand?

 

[jaytrem]

Las Vegas?

Nope, not Vegas.

For the other one I see there is a snowboarder, so that eliminates 3 places. I also see what appears to be an RFID reader. And red patrol jacket could eliminate anywhere in Canada that uses their national ski patrol (yellow jackets).

 

[Not Sure]

Eagle crest AK?

 

[jaytrem]

Eagle crest AK?

The one I posted is not Eagle Crest. Not sure which one your were guessing at.

Clue: Mine is in the lower 48.

Kinda looks like Snow King in Jackson.

That was an interesting view of Iron Mountain. http://www.epicski.com/t/82323/photos-of-abandoned-iron-mountain-ca-ski-area
That place has been closed for 19 years. It appears that western ski slopes don't grow back in as fast as eastern ones.

Jaytrem: Arapahoe East?

Jaytrem: Arapahoe East?

Nope, it's an open area. Not Snow King either. It has some relation to Winter Park.

 

[xlr8r]

Granby?
