I think I could take a nap on one of the new quad chairs. I've already had one on the new 6 pack.

My wife and I went canoeing on Somerset Reservior last week. It was pretty wild seeing the North Face from the lake. We could see the gray towers on the Challenger lift.

That's awesome. I have never had the chance to see the mountain from that side from far off...

It's a cool view. That hiking trail drjeff mentions sounds like it would be a good trek.

The 1st tower footing being poured this AM as seen on Mount Snow's webcam! Also if you look in the top left, you can see some of the shiny new silver colored chairs hanging from the haul rope of the Grand Summit Express (slated to reopen with the new chairs for scenic rides this coming Saturday!)

We're hoping to take a trip over this weekend to test out the new chairs on the GrandSummitClipperExpress. :lol:

Maybe I'll bring a PBR tallboy for the slow ride up.

I wonder which chair will be completed first, Sugarloaf or Mount Snow? Sugarloaf just posted that they have also been pouring tower footings. In the Maine tradition, they used skidders!

Due to length (the Mount Snow lift is over 7,000 feet long) and lack of chair storage barn at the Loaf - I would bet Sugarloaf will be done first... just a guess though.

It really doesn't make any sense to have a new ski lift "done" before November 1. Why would the ski resort want to pay the lift company early?
