Ski lift?

Hasn't voted

Can you see the ski lift in this photo? I'm trying to figure out what part of the mountain is skiable.

	Voted 10/10	My office mate is going to this ski area later this spring. Lift tickets are very expensive and by reservation only. The lift ticket includes a manditory guide. I believe that there is only 1 lift. The skiing is pretty extreme. My office mate says it's the closest she'll ever get to heli-skiing.
