Wow that sucks....

Yes it does. At least the damage seems to be confined to the lower lift terminal.

They'll have to restate their vertical. ;-)

That'll buff right out.

So much for my "ski more in Slovakia" new year's resolution.

Holy crap!Thats a lot of material to remove.Makes Killingtons Irene mess look like a sandbox incident.

Think they have some issues to address when it comes to location.

looking like a bike hill now, not in a good way how it changed to that.

Best case scenario, the bottom towers didn't get knocked out of alignment or dented and won't need to be replaced. Doesn't look any of the drive components were affected

Nail hit on head. http://skimap.org/data/1959/1/1259711994.jpg
Looks like the gondola is on the upper right part of the mountain in this view, about 2400 vertical feet but doesn't serve a lot of terrain. The base looks to be in a very narrow steep valley.

That could quite possibly be the worst laid out ski area I have ever seen
