AZ Challenge 2011: Chris Nyberg and Sarah Thorson, Killington Resort

[steamboat1]

Will the layout of the new peak lodge allow for easier & full access to the top section of Cascade? The way it was you had to make several turns on upper downdraft before you could cut in due to the poor design of the gondola not having enough clearance at the top section of the trail. Will enough room be left in the design of the lodge to allow access from the other side of the gondola lift line so that skiers/riders could access the full vertical of that section of trail?

there is a rumor that the skye peak express motor was damaged by a lightning strike. Chris can you confirm/deny/ignore this?

I realize that. I was not referring to you or your post. Keep up the good work.

I am speaking directly to Nick and his beloved AlpineZone Newletter I received yesterday that refers specifically to "the loss of the Killington Base Lodge".

Chris, any thought as to what you're going to do with the area once the pub wreckage is removed? There used to be a deck there and a lot of us would say the deck was more beneficial to you than the pub. This could be a golden opportunity to bring back a major item that is lacking there, especially in the spring. Think of how many people would love to sit out on the deck in the spring, watching bumpers on Superstar and buying beverages and grilled food while a band is playing out there. Kaching!!!

Bubba, I read somewhere that Killington was going to replace the pub with "Something fun" I would guess this would be a deck.

I second that emotion.
