    Magic Carpets - The Most Dangerous Lift on the Mountain?

    I'm starting to get my 4 year old on skis and have been riding the Magic Carpet for perhaps the first time in my life. Did either Sterling Forest or Vernon Valley have them in the late 80s? I feel like there were rope tows and very short chairlifts to access the learning areas? I don't know...

    How Much Ground Clearance Do You Need?

    Question to the Forum: How much ground clearance do I really need to make it to the ski hills and back? I'm ready to buy another car, and I'm definitely getting something with AWD, but beyond that I'm debating. The normal choice for a ski car is a high riding SUV, but I have a few issues with...
