Ask my wife I'm wrong all the time

Roping people down from the looks of it.

You're right. It's not their first either from my recollection. I should have said not many.

Not a D line, and neither will Superstar be most likely.

That would include labor. No ski area has the in house expertise to install their own detach.

Why are we still looking at old notional drawings without scale or accuracy? These are wet dreams.

Count me in for a condo on Yodeler Run though.

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.

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.

I don't think it's been confirmed one way or another what the alignment will be. Until the 250 app is filed or the resorts confirms we likely won't.

There is always the back pocket option of accessing the SS pod via Launch Pad, but that's a lot of November snowmaking just to get to those trails. It's also going to be difficult for any last minute base terminal construction when that whole area is overtaken by the World Cup venue setup. Tricky in...

Sunday River is not doing anything meaningful this off-season due to flood related expenses.

Does not excuse other years for K obviously.

As for the alignment, I see no need to change it, other than moving the top terminal higher, and moving it back a little to make the unload bigger. They shouldn't be cutting more trees if they are required to give back acreage to do it. They had no choice with South Ridge, but it isn't necessary fo...

6 months if all goes well.

Could they move the World Cup to Highline?

Only the slalom if anything.

Not necessarily. They could do the other alignment that's been discussed, do a two year install, or run the spring operation somewhere else even if it doesn't mean June.

We don't even know what the issue is other than possible service brake. We had a service brake issue and it took a month to replace and the lift was down the whole time. It's quite possible if they started to tear into it there would be no spring skiing so they are bandaiding it for now. Up until re...
