Sugarloaf Announces Terrain Expansion to Burnt Mountain and 10-year Development Plan

I have to say 7% for Mansfield is pretty good. Better than I was thinking armchair quarterbacking, and no doubt some of the best in the east.

it's the reward you get for skiing at two 'wicket frickin' cold mountains.

Just watched latest video update from WMTW Channel 8 and it is looking really sick out there.

that's a good piece. I think it represents the work quite accurately. We're gonna see a lot more people eating bark soon!

For some perspective, the peak you see through the trees in the distance, is Burnt Mountain. A lot of people don't realize how massive this whole expasnsion is, even if it's glading only. The acrage is huge.

Clear out the logs, get two feet of snow in there and let's rip!

Not sure they plan on removing most of those logs. Maybe they are, but I think most will stay. I hope to be proven wrong though!

logs are supposed to stay and improve the habitat for critters

Makes sense. Probably part of the way they got the permits. Some logs are being cleared, but while it will take more snow to cover the glades, I'd rather have growth under there to cover rocks.

In that case, we'll probably need three feet of snow to get a good base in. I'm not a fan of finding snow snakes.

Just part of the process. Like fine wine, glades get better with age

Eventually they'll start to break down and less snow will be required to open up in there.

First, what is up with the boundray marker being below the saddle area (the peaks of phase one? Is it to steep, ledge, etc?

Second, boy a lift to just below the Burnt mountain summit or maybe in the middle somewhere would be nice. I know, not popular, but just sayin.

Finally, will the glades be marked to let you know you should start making your way to the left so you don't end up at the bottom and have to hoof it out the the snubber (I think that is what its called) lift?

Thanks,

I'm guessing they'll tie a line through the trees so you don't go too far.

It'll be a hell of a run starting at the top of the snowfields and heading skiers right.
