    Looks like a fun trail. Too bad I was there during the blowtorch in March, and the grass was showing.

    Sounds like Tramline or Kinsman Glade at Cannon. Imagine what Tramline would be like with a manmade base!

    Would snowmaking on Tramiline realistically be doable without rock blasting the character out of what appears (I've never skied it) to make that trail great?

    If you're arguing just leaving it alone and running pipes up the side and blowing snow over all the rock debris, keep in mind that activity might raise my taxes a few pennies a year you anti-environment, pro-development masshole!!!!!!

    Settle down Threecy wannabe. No change to the trail. Just run pipes up the side. A man made base would make it skiable more often.
