Nice! Of all the things that they enumerated, I think snowmaking will be the most important to get Mittersill going year after year.

George still skis all the time at Cannon.I've seen him there for the 40 years I've been around.Mostly at weekday skier,he still appears on even crowded weekends getting his runs in.

Wow.

Although how do you all feel about the bolded part below:

Improvements will include a T-Bar lift installation, creation of an alpine training and race venue, trail widening, snowmaking, and the addition of a connector trail to Cannon Mountain.

It's has to be widened in some places Nick.Under the land swap agreement with the feds,the most that can be done is widening to the old width before it grew back in.

Below the Bicknell Thrush habitat is ok for widening as far as I know.

 

[SIKSKIER]

Correct,although the Bicknells habitat is above 3000 ft.The top of the Mitty chair is about 3100-3200.
