I'm not sure what the answer is to their base area layout. The Base Lodge is inconvenient to basically everything except WT. Between the way the village is laid out and surrounding condos, there's not much you can do.

There's some room down by the Superquad though. If you eliminated some of the drop off parking, you could maybe build a second lodge? A realigned Bucksaw lift over closer to the superquad could create a nice little hub.

Really expensive project though... I don't think SL loses a lot of skier/rider traffic because of the base layout.

Not to throw cold water on this thread, but they are having a hard enough time properly maintaining their existing lift infrastructure. I know that their 2020 plan calls for a new signature lift, but I don't think it is coming anytime soon. :(

My decision will be either to move west or use the money to go boarding west for 2 weeks a year
