I see that Whistler Mtn in British Columbia just added a chair lift that
increases their vertical drop to 5280 FEET.  This takes the record as the
ski area with the longest vertical drop in North America from neighboring 
Blackcomb ski area, which has about 4200 vertical feet.  
	
I'm taking a trip up there in February.  I'll let you know how it goes.
