Does anyone have any info on whether the Bailey's Falls lift is going to run this season? They said in an email in August that they have the part they needed and are going to get it fixed but, it seems like nothing is happening. The blue barrels at the bottom seem like they haven't moved in years.

Thanks

I think they are waiting for snow. And maybe a load test. It’s all natural back there. But I know that they were committed to running it.

My daughter was racing up at Middlebury last weekend. She said, and from the pictures of the bases of her SL skis she was free skiing on after her race runs on some of the natural snow terrain on the main side, the natural snow terrain is close, but still needs a little more snow to get solid coverage, especially in/along some water bar areas and crests of ridges/knolls that are in wind exposed areas. Hopefully the next few days will deliver that extra natural they need to get the Bailey's Falls pod open
