Re: changing anything about the CR lift. To me (and I'm sure to a ton of others) the allure of Castlerock is the terrain, the snow quality, and the lack of crowds. I skied Middle Earth several times this past Saturday and Sunday and I was the only one on the trail (or at least visible). For me, while I don't love standing in line, I do appreciate the chance to rest my legs.
Bottom line...Don't change a thing about CR.

I firmly believe anyone that says CR can (or should) support more uphill capacity doesn't "get it" about what that area of the mountain is all about.
