Might be intended for air line replacement, not water with that delivery of pipe

It's 4 and 6" water, which is entirely normal for their system given its layout.

They're at, what, 1000 GPM or just over across both pumps? The 300 loop where that's headed literally only feeds Showoff and a tiny bit of Wand right now and you can get 600 GPM through 6" pipe. If they have anything in the terrain park or a fan on the Black Quad corner hydrant it'll be even lower GPM. Shouldn't be an issue.
If I was laying out that system I'd at least think about an interconnect at the top of Showoff, so you could feed down Showoff from either the 300 or 400 line or bypass the lower mountain 400 loop to feed Lower Carpet off the 300 pump. But that's nowhere near essential, especially if they have the 400 loop reconnected at the summit to bypass a lower mountain leak on either side. Just getting the 300 loop weak spots replaced is a big win, it's been a part of the early season drama more than once.

1200 gpm comes to mind…..
300 line goes up Hocus Pocus, crossing over the work road/Wand up into the lower section of Blackline. Then where the old mid station was - below cliffy steep section and where crossover from HOM is - it turns and runs down what current trail map implies is the continuation of Bail Out, crossing Wand, and entering Show Off 50 or so yards downhill of the top of Show Off, then down Show Off and into base area. Besides replacing a perennial leaky section of pipe, the plan includes adding pipe to the top section of Show Off.
They are also doing some pipe replacement around base area and though I heard rumors of some plans I’ll wait to see what they do once work starts after the mid-August wedding.
Hiked up yesterday and they have weed-wacked Whiteout, Betwix and Enchanted Forest. Also some trimming back of encroaching trees, which I also noticed on Carumba.
Base area looks great and they had a great band on a beautiful night last night.
Only 3 months until Andrew and team can go if temps permit!

That's correct. They are replacing the lateral section of the line that cuts over from L. Black to Show Off, adding more air down the top of Show Off and also adding a spur of both air/water up the middle of the very bottom of Pocus to cover the terrain park better.
