It would not be too surprising to me to be true. As a rule of thumb, I usually take the 'trails open' number and divide by three to get a realistic number of trails open for all ski areas...not just Gunstock.

The Waterville Valley ski area is situated on 4002-ft high Mt Tecumseh, while the top of the skiable terrain is on White's Peak at something like altitude 3800' and they call it a 4000'-er ski area.

The ski area business is very competitive, and their websites like to present a very rosy picture.
