Also first place I ever put skis on in Dec. 1975, albeit just for the handle tow on the bunny hill at the base.

On which chair did the slide occur a few years ago?

I'll guess that it's Chair 1 (the one on the left in the map) simply due to the steeper terrain under it, according to said map.

While I don't know for certain, from the way that trail map is drawn I'd presume it was chair two simply because the slide didn't originate below the lift, but rather on terrain high on Mt. Charleston and well above the ski area itself.

Look in particular at the map in photo 4 of this slideshow:

Found this on a forum that was discussing the avalanche just after it happened, sounds like chair 2.

The slide contacted the western lift at 2680 meters from the drainage to the south. That area does get skied but I’m certain no one was skiing up there yesterday. People do ski from the top of the lift through the drainage. Hopefully no one was in there during this event.

I was going to respond initially about how I could hardly contain my glee at the news.

I dig how the forum's resident RN blasts us with a free, unsolicited advert for a small ski resort that nobody here ever patronizes, then she isn't heard from again. Hell, if not for that avalanche, I wonder how many people, even avid skiers, would even know there's a ski area near Las Vegas.

Oh, I finally tried that Rogue "Dead Guy Ale" - tasty stuff.
