Thanks for all the great info on this site! But you’ve got some numbers wrong here for Mt. Hood Skibowl. Upper Bowl is a quick ride… I’ve never timed it, but no way is it 13.5 minutes. So I went over to Daftlogic’s Google Maps distance calculator, and it says 1,689 feet for Upper Bowl’s length (I don’t know whether that tool factors in slope angles, but I definitely don’t think total length could be 5,975 feet). Also, for Cascade (the chairlift on Multorpor Mountain… confusing, I know), 751 vertical feet definitely isn’t accurate. Base is around 3,900′ and the summit’s around 4,300′.

This image is dated 7/1967 which I believe would make this a picture of the original Upper Bowl.
