You can see where the grading around the tower base has changes, and they have cut into the hill and changed the grading to the north of the tower. Look at the new profile visible in front of the pickup truck.

Interesting cell tower on a trailer. This might be for the World Cup, but imagine if afterwards they put it at Needles Eye?

Looks like significant regrading to me.
These are the photos I have been waiting to see.

I am optimistic.

Good approach . . I'll try to reserve judgement until an actual trial run occurs . .

The lodge looks AWESOME !

KBL used to have a TMobile site on the roof. This may be the temp array until they get the new one up. Educated guess...my buddy does the engineering and permitting.

What are the 2 inset group of pipes for? Fire pits? Patio heaters? Outdoor bar?

I think those are Fire Pits and they may have been installed since this photo was taken.

I'm sorry they didn't keep the Mahogany Ridge name. Now let's bring back Newt!

Too bad they don't appear to have fully functional snowmaking on North Ridge.

Show of hands to who would prefer working snowmaking to a pretty lodge?

You, me and probably everyone else on this forum. We'd also prefer they let us slide off Skye Peak tomorrow instead of saving it for the WC.

That lodge was a dump and needed to be replaced. Especially after Irene (BTW- 11 years ago holy crap).
