Interesting history of Suicide Six, including the explanation of where the name came from.

From a marketing perspective, it makes sense. Frankly I'm suprised it took this long. The terrain may have been considered difficult once upon a time, but today it's a small family mountain and I'm sure parents aren't keen to explain to their six-year-old why the mountain is called "Suicide Six"

Forget explaining the name, I was thinking more from a marketing angle, how many families, for who this would be a perfect spot, don't even bother to look simply assuming the terrain would be too extreme?

How about "Snowflake Mountain - Where Everyone Get's a Trophy!" And if you once had balls but wish you didn't or don't anymore, you can ski on the woman's ski team.

But seriously, I think what they are doing makes a lot of sense for multiple reasons...including for sensitivity reasons.

They could call the resort Squaw Valley as that name just became available.

Saskadena Six.

In the Abenaki language, “saskadena” (sahs-kah-deena) means “standing mountain.”

It was chosen by the resort team to honor the original inhabitants of the land and the mountain’s multi-generational legacy and values of community, inclusion, adventure, discovery, and fun. The name sends a powerful message of connection both to the deeper history of the mountain with the Abenaki nation and to the present-day community at large.

The "Six" of our name comes from the very beginning in 1936 when Wallace "Bunny" Bertram picked the hill labeled "number 6" on a local map that highlighted potential mountains that could be the location for his rope tow-served ski area.
