Smuggs - 3/3

[deadheadskier]

It didn't. I'm not a fan if that lift system myself. 15 minutes in line is a long time in my book.

Looks like an awesome day.

Yup. I can appreciate wanting to limit downhill capacity but the double chairs are overkill IMO. I'm not saying high speed sixers are needed but a fixed grip triple up Madonna and a hsq on sterling would be welcome by me.

Yeah, how long is that climb to the top? Never been to Smuggs.

Not sure I understand your question. The lifts go to the Madonna and Sterling summits already.

I think that would make sense especially for Sterling. Putting anything more than a triple to the top of Madonna would be a bad decision IMO.

It would be great if they expanded to Whiteface or Upper Morse but that is a different discussion...

Yup, a HSQ would be too much. Just give me a touch more capacity (and a singles line. ) along with a High Speed lift elsewhere that siphons some of the traffic from the Madonna lift.

Timewise, how long does a chair from the base take to reach the summit?

It's a long ride - 10+ minutes. Didn't bother me but on a cold day I'd probably feel different - if I could feel at all after such a ride.

Having even one of those lifts a triple would probably make a huge difference. I agree a HSQ would be overkill.
