Re: Superstar chair

Not likely to exceed $10M. SS is not an overly long lift or challenging install. Check install costs for similar lifts over the past few years, and many had COVID labor and material inflation. Camelback PA. D Line 6 bubble. Half the length and vert. $14m in 2022 Brightons D Line 6 last summer was $...

Re: Superstar chair

One word: wind. There is a reason that top terminal is tucked in just after the breakover. That is the area that always was the culprit for closing Stage 3 of the original gondola. yup. i'm sure they'll do all the surveys and engineering necessary to put the lift in the absolute optimized location....

Re: Superstar chair

Most lifts have hydraulic brakes, rather than air brakes. Must be a Yan detachable thing. Superstar is now the only operating lift for the rest of the season, and it can't be breaking down multiple times a day. Well it is. And probably will continue.

Re: friday 4/19 schedule

Best skier on the mountain is in town. Parking lots busy today. Lift lines not. Stop complaining and go ski. All you’re missing is Bear. Skyship doesn’t count, shouldn’t even be there to begin with. Scale down. Profit more.

Aww. Sorry I hurt your feelings. Your 30+ years of managing some ski stuff doesn’t line up with my ideas. Weird. It’s an online forum with opinions. Welcome to internet.

Re: SkyeShip Gondala > Number of busted chairs..

Once Alterra buys out Powdr maybe they will put a new gondola in. Or scale back and get rid of the hardly open useless terrain.

Re: SkyeShip Gondala > Number of busted chairs..

Get rid of all that crap below bear. No more skyship. No more trails. Focus on the stuff where people go. Like mentioned above, who is going to invest $15m on new stuff that low in elevation that gets minimal use. Scale back!
