Yes FLL.It was in New London across Lake Sunapee.We always called King Ridge the upsidedown mountain for that reason.

Posted by Fish Cove Does anyone remember Tyrol in Jackson? Also Onset in Francestown.
I have a Tyrol ski map somewhere.I skied Onset when it first opened.It had the first "bubblechair" in the northeast.I thought that chair was pretty cool in that it had a bubbled shaped top section that would pivot down to the safety bar and protect you from the elements.I will never forget standing in line for this chair and seeing somebody start to fall off the lift just after loading.There boot/ski got caught in the chair somehow and they were stuck hanging upside down from one leg for 15 minutes before the patrol figured out how to get them down.Kind of scared me a little.
