zip line

Post by biged »

Was mountain biking this weekend and noticed they have the terminus of the zip line started. To me it looks like the upper wire of the sky ride will be in conflict with the zip line. Anyone else notice this?

I did. It must just be the angle viewing it from the ground. I can't believe they wouldn't have figured that out. Just the same, I am not Beta testing it.

Is it interfering with the construction of the new south ridge lift and the interconnect, which they must have started by now, considering they are much more important to the health of the mountain.....???

The zip line starts at one of the double chair lift towers. It looks like they removed the first two or three lift towers and they are building a platform on the third or fourth tower.

It wasn't that long ago. I think it was a busy Saturday about 2 years ago when the Snowshed Express went down for a half day.
