I believe this photo was taken on what is now Thimble, just below where Dream maker begins. The old Gondola's towers were replaced by newer towers for Skye Ship gondola, and many of the replacement towers were placed awfully close to where the original Gondola's towers were.

I think this is Flume, just where it narrows, some 150 yards below the old Killington double chair midstation.

Now, if you can pinpoint where THIS picture was taken, then you really deserve some points. I think this road was in Mendon, as the shape of Killington's uppermost flank does not appear this way when approaching on Killington (Access) Road. Whatcha guys think?

That last shot is an old picture of the Carriage Road on the backside of Killington that once accessed the peak from Mendon off of Wheelerville - and that's all I'm gonna say.
