Wow- thanks Hyak for that share! I've never found a name for that peak located SW of Lake Ann (labeled at Mount Ann on your scan). Given its size and prominence, I found it surprising that it didn't have a name.

Notice the line marked "Escalator" in the map that Jack posted.

This was the first ski lift of any kind installed in Washington. Here's a picture of it from "Ski-ing" by Charles Proctor, which I borrowed from Rolf Borgersen of Winthrop. Rolf's uncle Orville Borgersen took the picture in 1935-36.

Here's a brief note about the lift from Ramon Heller's excellent book "Mount Baker Ski Area":


Thanks Lowell for posting that photo!   Looks like the ski escalator may have been the inspiration for the Talley Ho Ski Boggan installed 10 years later at the Milwaukee ski bowl.
