Belleayre updated their website recently renaming the Superchief lift to the Belleayre Express. Is this actually happening? I haven’t seen any statement from their social media pages

My high school was the Indians, just last year they rebranded to the Red HawksNot all, but many are.
And I’d be willing to bet that the opposition didn’t come from the numerous Native American people living in the area including those who work at Belleayre, but rather somebody just trying to look PC and inclusiveGuess they hopped on the don't offend anyone band wagon..Next they'll rename all the friggin runs..
Limo libs.White liberals (the most racist people in America) strike again.
The runs are the native names of geological features, right? Where as 'Super Chief' is just an english label for a native american. Are they renaming the tomahawk lift?Guess they hopped on the don't offend anyone band wagon..Next they'll rename all the friggin runs..
I don't think so. Same reason I don't think they will rename the runs. Using native names isn't offensive, but using a made up label for a native american is to many people.Probably rename the whole place...oy
95% of the names of the runs can be traced back to Native American origins or are names of geological features, although a lot of the geological features happen to also be named after Native-related things. The area's pretty heavy with Natives, and Belleayre happens to employ a few, although I doubt it was the locals who wanted that name changed. Tomahawk is still Tomahawk.The runs are the native names of geological features, right? Where as 'Super Chief' is just an english label for a native american. Are they renaming the tomahawk lift?
If by "many people", you mean white liberals attempting to virtue-signal in an overtly showy & public manner by using minorities as a tool with which to make themselves appear self-righteous, then yes, "many people" indeed.Using native names isn't offensive, but using a made up label for a native american is to many people.
Gore and Whiteface shooting for 12/4 so next weekend seems like a decent bet for Belle.Website says they are blowing snow...open next weekend maybe?
