Agree - Bonanza probably becomes a magic carpet if it ever needs to be replaced. Not sure of the need for a 6 at the Golden the current quad seems to keep the line more than reasonable 90% of the time.LocalSanity wrote: ↑Aug 24th, '24, 03:09Bonanza should be a nice covered magic carpet. Outpost can be (and basically has been) “hike to” terrain.snoloco wrote: ↑Aug 23rd, '24, 23:00 As for lifts, between Killington and Pico, there are 23, not counting surface lifts. Killington's average fleet age is 30, and Pico's is a whopping 47.
At Killington, the most needed lift project is a replacement of Superstar. It's on its last legs. I think both Snowshed lifts and Ramshead get taken care of in conjunction with The Village. So that's 4 new lifts and new cabins for Skyeship, which should have them in a good place for a while. They do have some older fixed grips that could be replaced, but aren't necessarily primary lifts, so it's a lower priority.
At Pico, the two Carlevaro and Savio doubles are well over 50 years old and the manufacturer went out of business decades ago, so parts are likely hard to come by. After that, the Yan detachables will need to be replaced, though their service lives may be extended with Superstar and Snowshed becoming parts donors. I think the Hall triples will be fine for a while.
Golden should be replaced first with a bubble 6 unless that’s hard for the adaptive athletes, if it’s at all cumbersome for them, no bubble is fine.
They can probably limp the summit along for a few more years with the parts from the golden.
I’m not an expert, but my understanding is that town centers and villages are now excluded from needing act 250 permits.KingsFourMan wrote: ↑Aug 28th, '24, 13:20The only way it wouldn't happen that way is if they have some sort of ACT250 trouble going on. Has anyone heard anything new regarding that submission? Seems awfully quiet.
