As some Pinnacle trails have been cut, they really need to get that on the new trail map pointing out the future expansion. It would help generate some buzz for the area.

Do people hike up to Pinnacle? I wish I had a touring setup.

There is a hiking trail that runs from Proctor Academy across Pinnacle and Ragged Peaks. I've only read about it but no doubt threecy has hiked it many times. I wonder about the skiablity of Pinnacle's trails at this point. Might be very stumpy and .. uh well .. ragged.

It doesn't seem that the new lift is any closer to the Six Pack as this photo shows.

Was the terminal for the six pack repained? It looks much darker.

Ha! Didn't even notice. They painted over the name. Come to think of it they were painting when we took our little jaunt up Showboat.

Interesting. Maybe they are going to rename it as well (?)

Those lift poles were deff re-painted too. It looks much nicer. I would love a new name. Ragged Express?

So this is where the old spear lift went.

The chairlift is slow, and you are never far from the ground so it is great for those who are afraid of heights! At the top you will find young men offering to be your ‘guide’, and with just a few signs pointing vaguely in several directions and the boundaries being unmarked, many tourists will opt to hire them. But beware; as with Faux guides all over Morocco, they will not necessarily have any real knowledge or expertise. We would recommend a ski instructor, especially if you are a beginner or intermediate.
