Agree adding the needed things to the Needles base to make this happen is akin to they types of things Killington's staff could do in a summer. I would think the bigger thing with Skyeship is it would need to be fully retrofitted or replaced to be able to accommodate downloading. I'm sure it can dow...

It can always just be used as a transfer lift. this is literally done at ski areas all over the world

I was told when I was there in March by someone who claimed to used to work there that the SS replaced was scheduled for this year, until the party who was going to by the lift backed out. AS has been said on here somewhere, FIS hates Tower 3 location and the lift crossing. I can't see them really r...

especially when 6 people get off and have to hike up over the glacier for half the season.

Flat tire from the wheels that move the chairs?

Peace Park gone, I skinned up there today.

They made snow there for multiple weeks plus all of the grooming effort... I'm sure it doesn't make sense to operate that pod independently if Caper isn't open, but that seems like a waste.

the Powder Bean Counters said stop the bleeding. It sucks, but that is the only reasonable answer.

wow that's getting after it for just 3 days of construction...

yeah give the K1 a break. you can still get over to SkyePeak via the top of the C4. If they are having any slopes open on the backside of Skye.

It wouldn't suck if Killington actually got the Steamboat or Deer Valley treatment from a lift perspective.

well that's something I never thought of... Hard to think they make enough $$$ to run 2 gondolas and 2 lifts. but maybe they do.

You are correct though, they could collapse the bike park to operate off of skyeship only once things start happening in the basin.

even if making snow or getting natural snow to the base of skyeship becomes unviable in the future a gonodola could be used to shuttle people to and from Needles. This is the exact setup that Breck and Telluride have. It needs to be remain a gondola and it should be refurbed/retrofitted now.

ok Wasn't sure if they had got into the "ownership" game or were just private management as you stated.

How many units does VACASA own in MG? Seems like a lot and will probably become more.

the thing is 30 years old this year. The bear minimum at this point IS an overhaul. Didn't have any major stoppages while I was there this year but I also didn't ride it all that often.
