Re: State of Superstar May 11, 2024

Re: world cup returns in 2024

IE, the lift. How much do you spend fixing an old car knowing that you will be junking it within a year? It has to be safe and reliable, butt, there is a limit. Plus, how available are parts for this lift? with the tv cameras rolling, do you think they're gonna allow a lift breakdown happen. they'l...

world cup returns in 2024

you can the start the groaning now and begin complaining about the rollout ... pending final calendar confirmation from FIS, the WC is scheduled for nov. 29 - dec. 1, 2024. the good news is that thanksgiving is as late as it can possibly be this year, giving them a little more breathing room in term...

saturday 5/11 report

for the most part a rather grey day. with the warm nights, as has been the case at the bell the groomed side of supe was a creamy delight. the early revelers quickly hacked it up. bump side was ready from the gitgo. started out much larger than friday's bumps. by early afternoon they were huge. sun ...

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

When Hunter replaced the original Sunlite Express they refurbished it, updated the terminals, and moved it to the west side. I think that was done in 1 summer and included replacing the HSQ with the current 6 pack. They removed the quad and installed the six-pack the first summer. The quad parts sa...

Re: sunday cinco de mayo non-report

the trend continues. both friday & saturday were great but once again the mtn got screwed on the weekend with pretty much a total washout today.

last year we had something like 12 out of 13 beautiful ski days in may & june so hopefully today's the end of the bad weather days.
