Correct! How did you know??? :)
Well, I searched my head for areas I knew with old T-bars that were no longer in service, plus many of your hints - an area that was still operating, not in ME, NY or So. NE (therefore in NH or VT) one that is within the veiw of another (Tucks), a lift that used to start halfway (or was it a third) of the way up the mountain. I can't believe Wildcat would actually leave that thing standing after all these years and I must admit I never noticed it there. The triple that replaced it unloads off to the right, correct? Has anyone cut one of those trees and counted the rings? I imagine Wildcat has probably never made much money, so why not leave it - like the mid-station Gondy terminal at Sugarloaf. Maybe Wildcat was thinking ahead of this thread.

This one is still unsolved: hints: my vertical drop is over 1,000' and I am located in a Mid-Atlantic state.

One of only four. I'll guess Snowshoe?

Nope, third hint: I claim to have the highest vertical drop in my state.:-D
Do you consider PA mid-Atlantic?

I was curious about this fact myself, but according to the encyclopedia the Mid-Atlantic region states are New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and some people claim that Delaware, Maryland Virginia and West Virginia are also part of the Mid Atlantic.

Weird. I always thought PA, NJ and NY were Northeast and DE, MD, VA and WV were mid-Atlantic...

This one was taken this december, and the body of water in the far background, is lake champlain, and the mountains behind it are the adirondack's. The biggest hint is probably the wooden snowfence. if it is displaying as a thumb, click for full size.

My favorite view from the summit of Mt Ellen looking over Bristol.
