Shawnee Peak or Pleasant Mountain? Boyne Wants Your Input

[machski]

Have to imagine that announcing the move of the old Barker quad is coming soon after enduring something like this.

No way in hell anyone is reusing a Yan-Poma frankenHSQ ever. As to the former Jordan Quad, most of it's base terminal is still sitting in a lot below the current Boots lot out in Jordan collecting rust. If Pleasant gets a used HSQ, it will likely come from Loon yet again if/when North and/or Lincoln are swapped out for bigger chairs. Can't see any other chairs going there in current replacement plans.

I’m pretty sure that the Barker chairs were all sold last summer. As said, the rest of it was scrapped. It was pretty obsolete. There was nothing worth saving.

Wish the original chairs stayed, always liked the Yan frame designs (the oval being my favorite). Still about a dozen not picked up sitting in upper south Ridge lot!!

Those would be sweet to get. Pico still has their original chairs.

I know, but I don't think those will be moving on for some time.

Those lifts are pretty old.

Agreed, but with Pico still a separate, not 7 day/week operation, I don't see Powder spending the capital to replace them. Now, the village at K breaks ground and they complete the interconnect, well.....

I do have to wonder if POWDR has an exit plan.

At what point do u starting asking for some money back on season passes if the main lift isn’t turning soon? Pleasant is worthless if you can’t get to the top. It seems like something is really broke on the triple.

 

[Newpylong]

It's been two days!

Read your pass holder agreement. You're not getting a dime back.

 

[Mainer]

It went down last Wednesday

It could be way worse. Like at Nordic Valley where their main lift is down and being replaced by snowmobiles. Those passholders are not happy.

The gearbox let go. They are waiting for parts. It is supposed to be up and running by thursday.

Meant Jordan, not Barker, but from your response it seems that’s unlikely to be an option either.

The lift line under the triple is all marked out with flags starting with t1 all the way to t16 or 17 at the top. I assume these are tower locations for the new lift.

 

[Mainer]

Rode there yesterday. No news on lift reopenin. Lifty said no triple this weekend but are opening sunny side.

Typically you don't spend millions on permitting and then running a new 2 mile water feed and then rebuilding an entire pumphouse if you're going to sell.

 

[Mainer]

2 weeks still no main lift and no word. If you ask anybody there about it, nobody has any idea on a timeframe. Or even if it will happen this year. Can’t get the part, blah blah blah.
