howdy HPD and snowballs.
Not to change the subject or anything, but I just google earthed the Whiteface area trying to find Marble Mountain, and I came up empty. I was kind of looking for backcountry stuff, even though whats left is probably overgrown and wouldn't be skiable unless there was a ton of snow.
Also, I haven't hiked WF/Esther yet, does the trail go through the marble mountain area??
CU your post inspired me to go take a look.
Here's the weather station that use to be the base lodge

Pic of trail, it is narrow and steep. It gets narrower as you go higher. This pic is about 2/3 from the top of where the lift was.

This must be the top of the lift.

As you continue along toward WF and Easter there is another tobogon storage and that's about it as far as I can tell
