Places to stay, closest first

Condo complexes and rental homes are often missing from the open data we measure, so the real number near the lifts is usually higher. The mountain's own lodging pages list them.

The highest point on our map is about 8,960 feet, and the lowest lift starts near 8,330 feet, a drop of about 630 feet. Elevations come from the map's terrain model, so treat them as close, not exact.

How do you work out the minutes?
