I cant see a reason why a rope tow would be there.

yes its near mccoy station. it looks as if it went from mccoy to oh #2 ridge...but that doesnt really make sense.

but there is no reason you would ride over to that ridge, plus there is a big 'lake' in the way. The gondi did not by pass mccoy.

The bunny hill or the person part?...it is a very strange bunny hill placement if that is what it is as the low level skiers would need to go high up and to get down ski through challenging terrain if you are just starting out

mt high has that. Bunny hill at the top of the mtn, you just take the lift back down if your scared, and with a gondi right there, kinda makes sense.
