Hortsman glacier at Blackcomb is considerably less than 10,000 ft. It's less than 7,500 ft.
I think on the East Coast it would take a little bit more. That's only 1,300 feet higher than Mr. Washington.

Nobody has suggested moving it next door to Jay Peak, hoping it would benefit from the "cloud". Put it to the southeast and turn it to face slightly more eastward, to reduce the wind. Maybe it would even increase the orographic effect so both mountains get more snow.
Then if Jay Peak could run a lift up the west side of Cannon, they could justify their claim of a 4,000-foot summit elevation.
