That was me.40+.Well at least I'd like to take credit for it.You cant change a trail name just because somebody put the wrong name on the trailmaps.

"Tower guns top-to-bottom on Baron's Run over on Mittersill! More news coming soon... "

Just because it was once wide open that doesn't mean that its the right thing to do now. I know the damage is done and it will never ski the same ,but it was sure fun before the lift went in.

Its called sarcasim.I really dont quite get the real hate towards getting Mittersill back towards to what it was.Most people are sad about the constant growing list on NELSAP.This is a reversal and should be hailed as a success.I have spent many hours in the past doing unauthorized cutting there over the years and I get the "dont change the playground that we use and kept going" mentality but I can sure see past that to have an old ski area resurrected.
