Guess the ski area

[loafer89]

The pictures of the ski area are not in the Sierra;-)

The treeline looks really high, so I am guessing somewhere in the Central Rockies or California/West Coast.

Nope - it's not in the U.S.

The picture actually looked like it belonged in Europe due to the very high timberline.

Somwhere in the Southern Alps, Italy or Germany perhaps? I do not see any glaciers, except for possibly on the mountain in the center backround of the picture. It really could be in a lot of places around the world.

One last hint picture:

Do you what another hint????

One last hint picture:

Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard resort, the trail map in the pic and a little google action helped

Would that still be considered the Sierra's or The Palms?

Yes, well done8)

Well it only took three pictures to figure it out;-)Seriously that was a hard one, because it's so remote. I thought the clue about the person being killed on the triple chair would be enough of a clue.

The Las Vegas Ski And Snowboard Resort is located in the Spring Mountains of Southwestern Nevada and Mount Charleston where the ski area is located is the highest point in the range. It has nothing to do with the Sierra.

I offer up another ski area with just this one picture and no hints:

You know, you're right, there aren't really any defining details of the ski area itself so you'd probably have to really know the area and be good at recognizing mountain vistas. I guess I'll tell since no specific guesses have been made. It's Fernie, from the top of Polar Peak looking down at the top of the White Pass lift. Unfortunately it's not my picture - I've never done that hike but plan to someday.

Vortex at Sunday River?

 

[loafer89]

No, it's not Sunday River

The interior of British Columbia makes sense as the Pacific influence on the climate would keep the treeline high. I have only been to Whistler/Blackomb so I do not know B.C very well at all.

Here's one:

Here's one:

Wherever it is, it looks sweet!

 

[jerryg]

Take a shot at this one...

 

[bill2ski]

The one it's shot from or the one your looking at ?

 

[jerryg]

The one it's shot from or the one your looking at ?

Both, if you're that good, Bill, but it's all the same resort, albeit different pods.

 

[bill2ski]

Here goes !
At the river on Bim's looking at Salvation or is this wishfull thinking ?

I am not sure who made the chairlift in the picture, but it has been rebuilt.

This will probably give it away, since this is a tough one, but a person was killed while riding this lift.

The triple replaced a double called "The Yellow Chair," which is the chair that had the accident, not the triple. The Triple is.... CTEC/Doppelmayr and was installed by Powdr Corp in the summer of 2005.
