    So, this is pretty wild. Somebody commented on the video describing how the gondola system worked back in the 60s. I thought it was a fixed grip lift that they just ran slow enough to let people on and off since it just looked like a simple haul line and bull wheel design. Apparently the gondolas were detachable, but an attendant had to manually detach the gondola and reattach it to the line as you boarded and got off. Fun stuff. I guess there was a hanger system to hold each gondola as it departed and was taken back up.

    Abandoned gondola in New Hampshire. 1300 feet of vert. Legit steeps. Gorgeous views north to the White Mtns. They never had any chairlifts, just the gondola to access the summit and three t-bars on the bottom mountain. The last owner ran an Italian restaurant in Conway, NH.

    I'm not expecting anything approaching decent conditions till the second half of December. Will take some time for the weather to change. No worries.

    Weather probably isn't going to let them do more than operate on weekends before then anyway.

    JF doesn't do tubing anymore. It isn't family friendly enough.

    Camelback's base is about the same elevation as the top of Blue Mountain.

    Camelback is older and more comfortable with where they are. They're less motivated to make big changes. Which I can sort of appreciate. They have a stable of old fixed grip lifts still while Blue is all high speed now. They did build out the hotel and waterpark thing in 2015 but otherwise I can't think of any major improvements on the mountain recently. Their new high speed lift is only going in because the lift it replaced had a major accident.

    I couldn't hang around Cortina Valley too much. Somebody tried to turn the lodge and base area into a hotel resort in 2020, right in time for the pandemic. I don't think it lasted more than a year. Even though its closed I think somebody lives there now. But I did walk up to the top.
