Could also be a Patrol shack. Other than patrolers hanging out around the tiny little top lift shack they really don't have a place to be at Mittersill. Given the amount of traffic there now and distance/time away from other facilities it would make sense to have some sort of patrol setup over there.

I have no information on the work at Mittersill (outside of what I heard at the High School Championships last year), but the picture looks exactly like the work we did at Camelback this summer in moving a race shack and the timing and electric. Small trench with wires stung through pvc.

A couple more pics

Looking at these other 2 pics I'm thinking that building might be on the opposite side of the ski area on the bottom of North slope trail.I can't tell for sure but the second pic shows something going on to the right.The first pic looks like the building is right where the t-bar on North Slope was located.

I agree with you now that I see these pics. I was thinking it was on the right but peak was throwing in the first pic. That explains why the towers were not visible. I wonder what it is for. It can't be a patrol shack npw since it is so far from the lift.

Just got this from Sherry at Cannon

"I just learned that it is a water pumphouse for the Mittersill homeowners association. It is not part of the FSC/Cannon Mittersill project. They expect to be breaking ground on that next year."
