Vertical drop

[edit]

It appears that the vertical drop given on the Pats Peak website (here) is incorrect. If you look at the USGS Henniker quadrangle (Acme Mapper is good because you can toggle back and forth between the topo map and the air photo), you will see that the base elevation is 590 feet (not 690), and the summit elevation is 1290 feet (not 1460), for a vertical drop of 700 feet (not 770). I used the locations of the lowest and highest chairlift stations to get the revised elevations. It is true that the actual summit of Craney Hill is over 1420 feet above sea level, but this is half a mile south of the top chairlift and appears to not be part of the ski area. Does anyone know if the land above the chairlift on Craney Hill is considered part of the skiable terrain? --Ken Gallager (talk) 18:19, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cascade Basin Triple

[edit]

I want to make an edit to this article but wanted confirmation with multiple sources that my edit is correct. This source (NewEnglandSkiHistory) is quite accurate in their logs. I want to make an edit to the manufacturer of the Cascade Basin Triple because the installation was under the company name "VonRoll" at the time instead of "Hall". See this article on Hall Lift. Hall was purchased by VonRoll much before this installation happened. In fact, if you go there often, (this is my own observations so we would probably need more sources to validate this) you can see that "VNRL" is printed onto the base of the chair clamps.
