Insane southridge scheme.....

[Highway Star]

Just thought I'd throw this out here:

How about a detachable quad/6-pack running from roughly the base of Devils Fiddle, to roughly the Killington Peak lodge? It would be about 9,200 ft long and 2,000 ft vertical drop....by far the longest sustained lift at Killington. It would replace the south ridge triple. You'd probably need another route down the back of bear beside falls brook, to mix it up a bit. I know there's countless problems with this, but I wanted to throw it out here to see what people thought.......

How about building up the peak elevation to.. oh about... 10,000 feet or so. A bunch of us K-Zoners have shovels and could pitch in...

nah, a new south ridge chair with mid-station unloading up to the summit is the way to go.

Beautiful raw slab with deep, deep red meat—colored more like venison or elk than pork.

Very hard to visually tell the “grain” of the meat, but knife meets slight resistance if cutting with the grain. You want to cut against the grain, otherwise the bacon is too chewy.

Optimal cooking requires low heat for a long time in order to render fat and crisp bacon without burning; it’s like torture waiting for bacon to cook as the smell is incredible.

Extreme shrinkage was evident, due to the large amount of fat rendered. Keep fat at all costs, it’s simply amazing to cook with—much more flavorful than regular bacon drippings.

Flavor is out of this world. I wouldn’t call it gamey, but it has a pronounced, rich pork flavor that’s almost sweet. The bacon tasted almost maple-y and bordered on slightly too sweet and too salty, but the whole combination was heady and gluttonous in the best possible way. This is bacon that’s meant to be savored.

I like bacon.

Should I use the raw or the crispy version?

The Bashers really love their bacon. Bacon is the theme for the house.

From the current base, up to actual Killington peak? Or to near the lodge. With the midstation where?

I was really hoping for some google earth diagrams!!!

I think the better solution would be from the current South Ridge base up to where people used to put their skis on after the old Gondola ride. This would give access to the peak lodge without having to stand in the K-1 line. This would likely mean they could open that lodge all the time too. It would also eliminate Home Run and it's crossings on Cascade and Downdraft.
