Worst made for TV movie ever.

So supposedly Bald Mountain at Sun Valley erupts, and it stalls a lift, people are trapped, and die when it erupts. It is a Poma high speed quad in the east with a parallel Doppelmayr quad. The whole thing is pretty ridiculous, but it has a 10 minute ski lift scene. Did anyone else see it tonight?

I missed it since I can't stand low budget tv films like 10.5. I would have watched it though if i knew about the chairlift scene. However, I'm sure Blockbuster will have it available soon.

They switched between Mt. Everest erupting and Pennsylvania chairlift, both of which were supposed to be Bald Mountain in Idaho. I don't usually watch much TV, but I was really bored, and came across this.

I'm thinking it was filmed at Bromont, Quebec. It has an older Poma quad with a Doppelmayr quad parallel. Anyone know of any other ski areas that match this description?

Sorry I missed it. OK, maybe not. Did they use any footage from the real Bald Mt/ Sun Valley area??

No, the whole thing was filmed in Quebec, and it also had a computer generated Baldy that looked like Mt Everest.

Waterville Valley, NH matches this description, but the Dopp lift only goes 3/4s of the way up and its a triple rather than a quad.
