Seems like overkill to me. With the HSQ it will definitely put too many skiers on that part of the mountain.

That was my first taught when I saw the subject. That mountain does not need any more lift capacity.

Perhaps they will dig the bottom terminal of the lift into the ground even deeper than it already is to increase their vertical like they did when they installed the HSQ.

Yikes! That doesn't seem needed...like the 8 person gondola at Mountain Creek.

They only have to dig 18 more feet to get to 1100' vertical! You could enter through a tunnel! Or they could just pile up a big mound of dirt at the top for the unloading station.
In all seriousness, the money could be much better spent. This is just a marketing thing. I can hear the radio commercials now..."Blue Mt., with 1100' vertical and the only 6-Pack in PA!
What they should say is."Blue Mt., with the most crowded slopes in PA! You thought rush-hour was bad on Friday afternoon, you ain't seen nothing yet!
They'll have to park a Medivac helicopter permanently on the pad, with one hovering, just to handle all of the injuries from collisions on weekends and holidays!
At Camelback, the two HSQ's are in different areas. The 6-Pack will dump people off right across from the HSQ.
I never ski there weekends or holidays, so it won't affect me too much other than how the money could have been better spent. Like putting a handle tow in the lower park like they did at Elk. This would avoid the kids who just want to be in the park anyway from the taking the HSQ just to get back to the park.
