Wait - a ski area is installing a new fixed-grip chairlift when there are plenty of cheaper, used ones available??!! Call the press! It's an outrage!

I was just thinking I hadn't heard from good old Tin Woodsman lately. I was actually going to suggest that Mountain Vertical's numbers might be legitimate because you didn't tell the guy that he sucked at the internet.
It's also pretty scandalous that the lift cost $3,000,000. That's a cool 200,000 or 7.14% more than the Mittersill lift.
The latest from Sugarloaf: the base of the Spillway has been dismantled.

Mittersill did not have the loading carpet feature and was only a double.

Was that fire intended? I don't see anyone standing by to watch over it...but then again, nobody was there to put it out.
What's with the fire? Was that intentional?

They were standing on the roof using a cutting torch, sparks caught the roof on fire. The building was going away one way or another.
I wondered if that was what happened.
Sugarloaf has jackhammered the base and is in the process of removing the towers.

Any work being done on Brackett expansion? Last summer they had some pretty cool videos showing the new work.

Ethan was there and had left just before the fire started, the crew took plenty of pics. Work will start on Brackett soon, probably around july 1st, right now the brackett cutting crew is working on building single track mtn bike trails at the outdoor center. watched towers 7 and 8 fall today, most the towers for spillway should be down by the end of the day
cool
If you happen to get photos of the new Bracket stuff, please post them up. I was impressed with the small amount of Bracket I got to sample last year.
Are they cutting up to Burnt summit for next season?

What do you care? You're skiing in Utah next year! ;-)
I love lift construction pics!
Still a little sad to see old lifts coming down though...
