I think a couple members here might take your bet, but I won’t be one of them.

I'll go for it if he gives me 10 to 1.

I will admit that I found this video that Big Sky posted up today about the installation work for one of the towers for their new tram really cool to watch! Wild construction site location for sure!

Makes me want to ski there again. Is it opening for 23/24 season?

It’s supposed to be open December

From my limited perspective, it looks to be on track for that timeframe.

The beer can opened up Lone Peak to those not wanting a super long trudge, the new tram finally brings them to big time status. I wonder if it is a bt too late, to really propel them to the upper escehlon with them now charging extra per ride on the tram.

More incredible lift porn from Big Sky as the new tram nears it's official debut to the public next week

That is a truly beautiful lift.‍

No doubt they used water tanks for that load test. Almost 13,000#!! That would have been a heck of a drag to get that weight in concrete blocks up to the tram base!

You would be better of going to Cannon. The ice should start to soften by then.
For more information please read the Cannon thread.

Are they going to charge separately for the tram still? That seems lame or at least for the price it was set at.

I think that’s still the plan.

 

[doublediamond]

I think they are moving to a per ride charge vs a per day charge like with the beer can tram

Yes, per ride added charge to the new Tram. You will get you card charged that is tied to your RFID every gate scan at the Tram. Price isn't fixed, it will vary for $10-40/ride and will posted throughout the resort the price for the day in question. Big Sky does offer two season pass options with Tram access, Gold gives unlimited Tram access and is currently $3150 adult. Double Black pass gives 25 Tram rides included and is currently $2600 adult. Yikes!!

$40 a ride? Fuck that!

 

[snoseek]

The pay per ride bullshit is something I cant get on board with. Fuck that is right!

Agree. The team to the top is what actually put that place on the map for most skier's/riders. To charge that much on top of a crazy ticket price has gone a bit too far. Might as well just make the entire joint part of Yellowstone club and call it good.
