Browsed for a while and found something interesting.
This is Ski Acres in around 1962-66
It stopped at the south end of the purchase. The Bonanza lift (then didn’t exist yet) reached the top left corner and the Alpine lift followed the left of the diagonal strip you see in the bottom middle to the top left.
There seems to be a long traverse from Alpine to the T-bar, and a “Golden Nugget” run from the top too.
AND NOW I NOTICE. Paradise is the T-bar located at the Holiday-Gallery area! It starts at approximately today’s Gallery bottom terminal and ends at the Holiday top terminal.
The Alpine lift was constructed in 1962, and opened for the 62-63 season, and Bonanza likely expanded the new runs such as Hogwild, Outback, etc. Then came Reggies and Easy Street, which were next to the condo. In 1986 Silver Fir was cut and the lift was installed 1988, info from skimap.org images.
Rumors on the next projects for Summit 2030. Pacific Crest to a Doppelmayr 6-pack with angled offload (and lots of regrading up top) and East Peak as a quad Alpen Star. Boyne really does have a unique approach to lifts…
Replacing PC with a detach 6 is a no-brainer. It doesn’t need to be a fancy one (it’s West after all) but any detachable would dramatically improve the flow & experience there.
If Boyne decides to build a top-of-the-line statement lift at Snoqualmie, replacing Central Express would be the best choice. Armstrong is getting pretty up there in years too, but I’m not sure a Swifty clone fits the vibe at Alpental.

I like how this place has like 5 separate Riblet doubles each servicing its own bunny hill

Big Bill was installed in 1965, not 1964, as this news article was published in late 1965, and mentions the new lift.

Actually, that’s my bad, they were referencing Dinosaur, not Big Bill
