No intel yet??? Surely someone on here must have gone to the Homecoming meeting. ;-)
I believe you're correct about their once being a Sugarloaf 2020 plan, or something similar. I'm thinking that was in their pre Boyne days, so who knows if there's much applicability with the current ownership??Wasn't there a Sugarloaf 2020 vision or something that summarized the master plan? Or did they not get that into it...
If I had to guess in order of priority
1. Replace Double Runner with realigned lift starting closer to the base lodge.
2. New weather proof Bucksaw lift for year round access to Bullwinkle's
3. Realign Timberline and lengthen downhill to start at Bullwinkle's
They've also mentioned putting in an upper mountain surface lift to access the summit when it's too windy for Timberline to run. Not sure where they could put that in.
And of course, the dream lift for some would be a ttb lift going up Gondi-line.

Is a ttb lift really necessary there? I mean, the mountain skis really fragmented no?
It was Boyne because it began with Brackett and the Skyline Quad.

I'm fine with the current layout. The old Gondola probably had wind holds 50% of the season. The top gets tremendously wind scoured, so adding that much more traffic up there made for a mess the few times I skied off it back in the day.Is a ttb lift really necessary there?
