I see your 6 seat bubble and raise you to an 8 pack bubble

Post by Big Bob »

Loon will have an 8 pack bubble with heated seats and a loading carpet for next season. That should plug the trails up!

As I've said before, I think Killington should get one for Ramshead, Superstar, or both.

Imagine the f*** it would be getting double the amount of people out of the way on top of superstar once the spring pile is blown?

Hopefully they can run it faster than 550 ft/min on a busy Saturday. :barebutt:

So what costs more? An 8 pack bubble or a gondi like K1?

Seems like the gondi is a little better in wind?

Gondi might be better in the wind, butt taking your skis off sucks. And Loon has a 4 passenger gondola already, which they also replaced the cabins on last season. Loon also doesn't get much wind and rarely has a wind hold.

Do away with the ridiculous 90° loading, and things would probably run smoother.

...and put the RFID at the ENTRANCE of the corral, so the other end of the corral can effectively feed the loading gates.

and sharing air with guys like the douchebag ambassador we rode with who bragged about intentionally spreading the flu cuz " that's how he got it" are even worse...I actually thought he was joking until he clarified that he wasn't...

ya know I was so appalled that I just moved as far away from him as I could and got the fvck out as fast as possible...I figured if I got into it with him he'd only get pissed and exhale even more...

My Mother would put the healthy kids into the rooms with the sick kids in the hope we would all be sick at the same time. I got German measles 1st while brother and sister got mumps 1st. Totally backfired so instead of caring for 3 all at once she got dragged through the illness as each of us got sick. No vaccines or special treatment for that.

Both are poor locations for an 8 pack. The Kanc at Loon is a signature lift with massive downhill capacity. Killington is a mountain of pods that do not require a lift of that type.
