Toggenburg Mountain Sold

I wonder if it was because Greek/Lab offered better rates to ski clubs or that kids didn't want to go to Song/Togg?

I doubt anyone asked the kids

1957 brochure posted on the Nostalgic Syracuse Facebook page. Where did they get that 2,200-foot summit elevation figure? Similar to Magic Mountain a few years later, they were trying to work the Swiss angle.

Hogsback is 1808’ and lifts present now never made it to the tippy top.

They got the vertical drop correct though. I remember a few years ago Togg was claiming they had a 700' vertical but when you look at the topo map that really didn't add up.

What are the true verts of the other CNY hills? Isn't Greek in the mid-800s?

Yes
But over the years it's grown to 1000 ?‍?

From mountainvertical . . . Plattekill is 1100. My home mountain, Massanutten, is 1070, with about 750 for the two trails from the top alone.

Yeah, but they claim that Togg is 700, which it ain't, as mentioned by Adam above. Also, 950 is Greek's brochure quote; however, it's less than that. Do the "true-up" verts represent what's possible on a continuous run or is it simply the total top-to-bottom on inbound terrain?

Vertical isn't everything. Still, it's helpful to compare apples to apples.

The most vertical lift at Lab is Ptarmy, but it rarely has been spinning lately, so there’s that too.

The Plattekill t-bar was around 970 vertical feet. The top of the double is not 130 vertical feet higher than the top of the t-bar. It might be 20-50 feet higher. Platty might be 1000 vertical feet.
