Which eastern resort was the one Vail accidentally left off their properties map a few years back?

THAT’S RIGHT!!!!! I remember that. I think it was Attitash (?)

I'm pretty confident it was one of the New Hampshire names, so either Attitash, Wildcat, Crotched, or Sunapee.
Nevertheless, it was really funny because several of us believed the eastern resorts were essentially just an annoying and inconvenient necessity for Vail, ex perhaps Stowe and Mount. Snow, but to see them literally forget one of their owned entities was just incontrovertible proof.
I did a Google search and came back empty-handed. I know it was one of Vail's own map for Epic or marketing.

It was 100% a Vail released map, and I believe it was the marketing map not the EPIC map. But I cant recall if it was (briefly) housed online or in an SEC filing etc....
Regardless, it was gloriously humorous.
Did my dancing with the devil for the season this week. Sunapee on Wednesday, which was solid. Wildcat today was great after the six inches yesterday.
Here's a question for anyone who regularly travels up route 16. I know Vail sold off the Cat summer gondola cars. On the way south, I could have sworn I saw one converted into a Bob Hut at the North end of Chocorua Lake. Has anyone else seen this? I should have pulled over to get a closer look. Looked like they had mounted some sorta skis on the bottom of it to drag it out there. Pretty cool if it's what I think I saw.

That could also be from the nearby Mount Whittier which had similar gondola cars.
I did think that might be a possibility as well. My first thought was Cat as it was silver. But maybe some of the Whittier cars were silver too or they painted it.
“You’re welcome! Stay EPIC my friend!”
Where were you in December and January Bob?

There's a turnout on Route 30 just East of Manchester VT that a guy has posted up at last few wknds with a trailer hauling Cat gondi car for sale. If I recall correctly, it was primarily silver with a red logo and word "Cat" stamped on in. I think is sign said $1500 or something.
