Re: New lift planned
Great terrain over there........
So from my 5m house I have to ride 3 chairs to get to the top. That's with pushing from rams to snowshed and pushing to K1.
Or 3 chairs to the top of the glades chair.
What a deal!

Re: New lift planned
Extend it down so that people can ride up from the parking lots.

Re: New lift planned
Yes, this is a must. Something like the Cabriolet at Canyons. It's not cheap to run a shuttle bus system. That lift would pay for itself in short order. Otherwise the parking lots will be a cluster.
Re: New lift planned
Sick. Can’t wait to lap this terrain in 2035 when it’s completed.
Re: New lift planned
With the Village remote off-site parking lots and eventually the bear mountain remote lots for non residents I would think it would take you 1/2-1hr to get from the remote off-site parking lots to the main trails. Fortunately I think I will age-out before then.

Re: New lift planned
Doesn't seem very will thought out. Requires either installing a bridge under the road after getting off the lift (expensive), or taking your skis off. It will need snowmaking, which will require cooperation from the mountain. However, Killington would want something that solves their new upper lot transportation problem. My guess is this is the developer's attempt to get Killington/POWDR to the table to discuss a lift that solves both problems, since the scope seems deliberately narrow.

Re: New lift planned
This drawing also shows the bridge being removed from The Grand, greatly increasing the walk. It doesn't show a relocated Ramshead lift. There is no accent on the value of slopeside condos, it's slopeside promenade. Strikes me as designed by someone at a desk, not someone who wants a ski village. You know, ski, where the accent is on skiing, not promenading.

Re: New lift planned
If you spend $5 Mill do you want everybody and their granmother riding YOUR lift? Proably be restricted like the relocated poma.

Think of it more like a walking village to get to the skiing - not a ski village.Mister Moose wrote: ↑Apr 14th, '24, 08:31 This drawing also shows the bridge being removed from The Grand, greatly increasing the walk.

They could build a ski village on the golf course - but why would you want to ruin such a beautiful track when you have one the town can't pay for down the street...............

Re: New lift planned
I've been saying for years that the village should be built on the golf course with a lift bringing people up to the base of Snowshed with an extension to KBL. It's a win-win-win. The golfer population isn't enough to properly support two local courses so shutting the resort course helps the town. On the assumption that the resort course doesn't do much better than break even, the resort gains by shutting it down. The developer, now Great Gulf, gains an easier property to develop as the site development cost would have to be lower than all the work that's needed in the Snowshed/Ramshead lots. The skier population gains by not losing convenient parking. People staying in the village might even have a few ski home trails since everything on the golf course is downhill from East Mountain Road. Oh well....they never listen.hillbangin wrote: ↑Apr 15th, '24, 07:32Think of it more like a walking village to get to the skiing - not a ski village.Mister Moose wrote: ↑Apr 14th, '24, 08:31 This drawing also shows the bridge being removed from The Grand, greatly increasing the walk.

Not to mention that it would make by far Killington the best ski resort in the East - and Everyone would win.Bubba wrote: ↑Apr 15th, '24, 09:54I've been saying for years that the village should be built on the golf course with a lift bringing people up to the base of Snowshed with an extension to KBL.

They could build downtown Aspen or Park City on that Golf Course land.............
Re: New lift planned
…. and, I, for one, am glad they did not ruin the golf course
