trailertrash Posted November 1 Report Share Posted November 1 A new lift doesn't hurt either. The ski in/out parking lots to the new lift could really change the flow of the mountain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack M Posted November 14 Author Report Share Posted November 14 The new area is big! Hard to judge slope on foot but it looks like it could be awesome terrain for letting a GS board fly.

jl1 Posted Monday at 01:29 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:29 PM The website is a little vague on when the new lift will open. What is the local gossip on when it will be turning? Denise and I will be up the week of Feb 5. She got us a condo up in the Timbers this year!! I think its like our 26 th year we have been coming up and we are really looking forward to it. Sugarloaf is the best in the East in my book. Plus we met a lot of really great people over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted Monday at 03:11 PM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 03:11 PM Originally they said mid February 2024 then they moved it up to mid to late January. A Sugarloaf response in this post 3 weeks ago repeats that, but this page says late Jan/early Feb. I've walked around the area a few times now and it looks like it will be great cruising terrain. Pretty major expansion, and not just for real estate. I'm looking forward to trying it. The lift is 6574' long with 1433' vertical rise. For comparison, SuperQuad is 6800' long and 1800' vert. The runs are long! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted Monday at 10:05 PM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 10:05 PM A local with some connections posted elsewhere that everything is supposed to be up and running by around Christmas, but that then they will have to test and debug everything for about a month. Another guy who is working on the project posted about transporting the 76,000 lb haul rope to the bottom terminal today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted Tuesday at 03:58 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 03:58 PM I walked over there at the end of last season... they opened up a lot. The shredded chunks were huge. https://imgur.com/mJy6ac3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailertrash Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Hayburner and Kings were worthy today, before the warm up. Snow Sunday, next week should be decent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
