Re: SkyeShip Gondala > Number of busted chairs..

The Skyeship was a complete replacement of the original gondola. New towers, stations, everything. Not a refurb. I would be very surprised if a replacement of the cabins with Diamond 8s like they did on the K1 is not on the list of future projects.

Re: Mountain Green Sales?

I seriously considered buying in CO over 20 years ago, but ended up buying in VT for a number of reasons. Units were cheaper, STR income was better, and I knew I would only see the CO unit a couple of times a year while I could drive to VT easily. When I retired, I found the STR income in prime seas...

Re: Mountain Green Sales?

Sounds like under those conditions, I am puzzled why anyone would buy a MG unit. You were lucky to get out Stormchaser. I am sure you would guess I own a unit at Pinnacle. I will have owned this unit 25 years this fall. My experience has been very positive. Roofs have been replaced, siding redone, p...

I agree that Twister on Rams Head is a great intro to tree skiing.

Re: Thursday 03/28/202 Report

Fog. Not terrible but annoying requiring some goggle wiping. At least the snow was not sticky like the last two days.

Re: Historical trail closure patterns

Prices in Summit County CO are insane. A condo similar to my 2 bed 2 bath Pinnacle would be about $1,000,000. And there are huge tax increases being tossed around for any units in a STR program. The grass is always greener I guess. I have been able to cover cost for my 3-4 week trip to Summit County...
