Being an occasional skier at Mount St. Louis I have always been amazed at the uphill capacity for a relatively small resort. For fun, I created a stat: uphill capacity per hour divided by the acreage of the resort. Picking a small sample: Whistler has a value of 7.6 people per hour per acre; Blue Mountain (which is a very high capacity resort in its own right) has a value of 57.7 and Mount St Louis has a whopping value of 120 people hour. Does any one know of resorts with similar uphill capacities?
I just checked on some midwest and southeast hills since they usually have a lot of lifts/trail, and I found Mt Kato in MN, Boston Mills/Brandywine in OH, Snowstar in IL, and App. Ski Mt. in NC all have an uphill capacity per hour/acreage of over 200.

Tremblant’s somewhere around 38 people per hour per acre (guesstimating).
