I guess you've never skied in an ice storm then. I think heated seats are completely unnecessary, but my butt has gotten cold sitting on frozen chairs before...

I can't wait! Going to have to see if I can grab 5 of my Mount Snow friends this weekend and have a 6 pack in the 6 pack! :beer:

What no stickers on the bubble yet?
wow, never thought about that aspect. keeping those things free of graffiti and stickers has got to be an issue. 6 punks (a-holes) with sharpies could have a field day in the 7 minutes riding up

There was some loose talk about the installation of some type of surveillance system (seriously) in the chairs for just that reason. Also likely to be seen is some prominent signage in the base area about significant fines being impossed for anyone caught de-facing/vandalizing the bubbles

Seriously? A spy cam on the chair lift? That is a good one.
I can hear a few ACLU types sputtering about this already.
I like the bubble but having seen some in Europe they do get dorked up, even with security

It was mentioned. And after all, it's "only" a 9+ million dollar lift, and those bubbles are a couple grand a piece to replace. Nothing wrong IMHO with a private company wanting to protect their investment, heck stores do it all the time for their retail items

Kinda like a spy cam in a dressing room or a bathroom I guess.

We rode a bunch over in Austria and I don't remember seeing any that were defaced or plastered with stickers. Aside from some scratches they seemed pretty bulletproof, and heavy too.
here's one of the newer ones...

Hahaha one of the best out-of-context quotes I"ve been caught in. 8)

So I stopped the Mount Snow base area this evening on my way home from dinner this evening and sat in the chair in the pictures, and all I can say is that it is the most comfortable chairlift I have ever sat in in my 30+ ski seasons! You could seriously put this chair in your living room infront of your tv and be totally happy with how comfy it is!

Have they pubslished the new alignment yet? (That is: where the loading and unloading points are, relative to where the old Summit Local was?)
They've got some blueprints at the moutain; they displayed them at the Season Passholder meeting awhile back. Not sure if they're online anywhere. They "may" be on the website somewhere.
