It looks like zugspitze is across the valley so I went onto google earth to see what other ski areas were nearby

Actually you are right! I always knew it as Lermoos, but on the map it is LERMOOS - GRUBIGSTEIN. That threw me off. Very impressive!

Yeah you know in Europe they have so many ski areas that its hard to even get the name right. I was afraid that Grubigstein wasn't even the name of a ski area! It just looked like a town on google maps.

Ok this one shouldn't be too hard

yup! that was lightning fast hahaha, next time I'll look for a more obscure picture

I've only been there once. I vaguely remember one of the lifts looking like that with a half groomed slope at the top. Almost second guessed myself again like I did with wolf creek.

Alright, no one has guessed it yet, so I need to come clean. I altered the photo a little bit or else it would be way too easy.

It's in New England, and I bet most people on this site have skied it at least once.

How is the pic altered?

I wanted to guess kmart because it looks kind of like superstar in the past but it's too short, just doesn't seem quite right.

Waterville?

Yup.

Yes, it is mirrored. The original pic showed the tower at the top as well, I cropped that out.

Thought of doing superstar but figured that would still be way too obvious with how the lift cuts across the trail diagonally.

So that's the summit lift right? That's the only place I remember a trail being that wide.
