Our founder tried that a few years back, but for some reason the idea got turned down.

"Considering his 10 year plan complete after only 8 years, Walt Schoenknecht pitched a new 20 year plan following the 1962-63 season. By the mid-1970s, he planned to have 21 double chairlifts, 6 gondolas, 4 tramways, and 6 trail complexes, with the capacity to handle 40,000 skiers per day. The overall estimated price tag for the development was $75-$85 million. As part of the conversation, he suggested using an atomic bomb to lower the base elevation of part of the mountain, in order to increase the vertical drop and to provide a western bowl skiing experiance like he had experienced at Vail."

At least Mt Snow does not exaggerate their trail ratings. And I think Snowdance was downgraded from blue to green. Opposite of what a lot of places do to make it look like they have tons of expert terrain.

And the only <><> at Mt Snow definitely deserves the rating. They could probably call Little Steep a double too if they wanted to.

We actually cut that trail in half with Snowdance being green and Snowdance Pitch being blue. This when paired with the green trail N.E. Time gives beginners a green option off our our Canyon Express Quad.

It's just not the same without the Mixing Bowl double clanging away in the background

I like his style. Now that's big thinking.

There are no bad ideas in brainstorming...
