If WV management had any brains they would get rid of that summit High Country chairlift by selling it off in the winnipesaukee.com classified, and replacing it with a retro, old-fashioned rope tow, powered up with a 1948 grey Ford tractor, where the rope tow rope loops around the big tractor tire rim .....with the big rubber tire removed off the tractor rim ..... just like back in 1961. That original 1966 summit chairlift has got to be the slowest moving chairlift ever constructed in the world history of snow.....plus there's some real good ski terrain up top High Country 'cept no-one seems to go there cause the lift is just too slow. How slow? ........ too slow!

Plus, riding a rope tow way up top of the mountain with those super views could be just as much fun as skiing it down, so's you get a double good run ...... up-down, up-down, up-down .... etcetera....and every once in a while .... some low-intermediate will lose their grip and slide back on the rope while track'n up the steeps, and take down the four riders behind on the rope line.....just like in the cartoons.....ho-ho-ho.....hee-hee-hee ....ho-ho-ho ... and no claws allowed on the rope tow!
