I wonder if they had people 50 years ago who couldn't take a joke as well...can't tell from the picture

The bullwhell has arrived and the t-bar will be ready for this season.....just not to the rest of us.

The 747 was first used in 1970 - so nearly - yeah.

The Douglas C-124 Globemaster was used in the 1950's - so absolutely - yes.

Not to be a peckerhead but this is not news at all.Its been well known for a few years.

I didn't say it was news.

I think people are tired of that topic - it is a done deal and debated ad nauseum.

I get the joke and actually agree, the new cut is ugly as hell, but the mountain is still a lot less developed than it once was. I guess I was responding to the post who said the mountain was being changed, but we have been down this road enough times already.

The new T-bar will be open to the public. I can't see it just being used for racing. It may be just for racers when they are racing/training, but on busy days it will be open. We'll find out soon.

agreed - there's no way it won't be open to the public at least some of the time... My uninformed guess is that it will be closed to the public roughly proportional to how often time zone is typically closed off... Don't throw tomatoes -- it's just a guess.

JD is one of my FB friends.I asked if he would respond to this t-bar question.

Where did Cannonball go?

Where did Cannonball go?

We got lost going off trail and we had to eat him to survive.

That's awful. uke:

BTW. It appears that ALL FSC races will be held at Mitt. next year. So periodic closure of Gary's is a thing of the past.

Not sure about high school and other races, but I can't imagine it would be different.

Follow up.According to a few people in the know the t-bar will be open to the public.All the time?Not sure about that.

 

[Newpylong]

I would think open as long as public could go down TBD to Barons?

 

[Tin]

TBD

Will it ever be determined?

Didn't know Cannon was in line for this.From the GM's FB page:"How can I say, "Three Hundred Eighty-Eight New HKD's On The Cannon Side, and a New Booster Pumphouse... and Nearly Two Hundred SnowLogics on the Mittersill Side..." without sounding overly giddy?"

 

[deadheadskier]

That's an amazing upgrade in snowmaking for a mountain Cannons size.
