| Castlerock Liftline? If not... the spacing between those chairs suggest I gotta hit that.

| That looks just the right width. The Loaf would have done well to keep their trails narrower. . . like that. I remember when Wedge was transformed into White Nitro with more girth and snowmaking/grooming to try and tame its steepness and to compete with SR's White Heat. All they achieved in widening it was to ensure any snow would be ripped clean off after it's made and groomed. Moreover it would seem obvious that narrower trails force people to learn how to turn, cut down on windholds, and make all the woods critters happier. Making money however means marketing and competition between resorts to bolster real estate sales to pay for capital improvements. So what's done is done regarding trail widening and SR will always be sumday bigger except in snowmaking.
