Does anyone know what they are building right next to the Stateside Hotel? It looks like it may be as simple as a set of stairs. I wish I had taken a photo.

That "Concept Plan" is really old. The layout is totally different now.

Here is the plan for the amphitheater:
This elevation looks like the very first ones I did in Google Sketch-Up when I was learning to use it.

Here is the most recent (2013) Master Plan that has a more accurate layout of the Stateside buildings.

That rendering does not have the Amphitheater.
This one shows it a lot more like I envisioned it. What they are currently building (based on the concrete slabs I saw last week-end) does not fit the definition of an amphitheater at all.
See 2d or 3 below

To me it is more like a pavilion. Anyhow, it is pretty sad that we are actually discussing this.
Are they really adding a trail to skiers right of Timbuktu?
