Only on ski mountains. The tens of thousands of undeveloped acres in NH similar to the few acres I'd like to see gladed isn't good enough for that sacred bird I guess.

I think that is true but I think there was a frog too.

It's good for advanced to expert skiers, mid-season when there's snow. Otherwise, yeah, three trails. The Coleman Brook Express did not need to be a HSQ; should have moved A or B quad over and popped the HSQ in at the main base, but I guess that would have looked bad when they tried to sell the real estate at Jackson Gore.
On a related note: Okemo is taking suggestions on Facebook for capital improvements (not sure if serious). That should go well.

What's this now? There is no Timber Creek and I think you made up the second part unless you have inside information.
Don't forget that when the Jackson Gore pod was originally designed it included a base to summit lift (gondola) and additional trails feeding the base area from skiers right. IMHO that lift resolves a great deal of the high traffic areas, eliminates the danger level of disfunction junction and makes the JG express quad ski more like a distinct pod rather than the only way out of JG. I love the Limelight trail but dislike the traffic it see's. Other than early morning I prefer to use southern crossing to get over to JG.

JG and South Face are my favorite pods when I ski Okemo. JG is almost always ski on and a great way to escape the crowds not to mention an easier base area to work with

I agree with your comment on JG. South Face is pretty light too and has fast runs!

Timber Creek is a new development on the flank of the main mountain. This is the first of 2 lifts planned for the real estate development (not too much in way of ski terrain, mostly just ski home trail stuff).

Why two lifts? Looks like one could do it.

I think the second one will start at the lower left corner of the development. Based on the drawing I agree, but the actual layout may have two "low points" in the left and right corners. If you're going to charge big $ for the property, can't have any uphill walking to your lift!! LOL!

So this thread is about resort improvements for 2015?
Q Burke got rid of its management. That's an improvement. :flame:
