Good to hear! Did you actually make it up to the mountain or were your observations only from in town?

Yeah, that's true for all sorts of projects going on up here right now. Certainly not worth drawing attention to.

Masskier, any steel delivered yet?

Vide of Bike & Brew. It has some good shots of the crowd for those who want to gauge attendance.

I thought it was appropriate for a first-year event. I wonder if they would get more people if it was held on NEMBAfest weekend?

This was the fourth or fifth consecutive year the event has been held, it used to be more of a joint event with Kngdom Trails but not so much anymore. They also used to set up a very large jump for a professional jump demonstration but that didn't happen this year either. This years attendance was noticeably down from past years but that should not be a surprise. There is no longer any connection between the resort and the community.

That's the sad truth. I recall it being a decent event and a nice thing for everyone to attend.

I also could not help but notice that a lot of those on the video, and in attendance, had "STAFF" shirts on and were likely Qemployees.

I didn't realize that it had been going on for a few years. My bad.

The drop in attendance was certainly a foreseeable consequence of kicking KT out of the sandbox.

Burke has a new promotion. 1% of season pass sales in August and September will be donated to the LSC scholarship fund.

Camera is back up. If they aren't on lunch break, it doesn't seem like anything is happening today. Does the concrete need time to set?

I think it is just hard to see what they are doing right now since they are working inside the foundation (bottom floor/parking garage). They are likely putting in the floor as well as supports for the upper floors.
They are also likely working on the earthmoving/sitework on the other side of the building where the cam can't see.
