Isn't there a way to drive a concrete truck up there? That skidder is going to have to take a lot of trips back and forth otherwise...
They can get the truck up to the base and probably the summit stations, but most of the tower bases will need the skidder method.

Looks like they're calling it the Skyline Quad now:

It'll always be Spillway to me. I wonder if they'll also change the name of the trail.

I have feeling it will remain Spillway with the regulars.
Booo
Should remain Spillway
Just like it should be Sugarloaf USA

I still use the sugarloaf/usa stickers. Been wanting to stick one on the rear window but don't want to clutter the car too much.
Last one I had went on my car. Only ski sticker I have on the car. The rest are on the roof box.
Yeah it will always be Sugarloaf/USA for me as well.

Whoever came up with the method of shuttling concrete by skidder is a creative genious 
Update. They are selling the chairs for those interested:
I imagine that they will go fast. They are selling chairs, chair benches, chair gliders, chair swings, etc.

They also have poured the footings for the summit terminal:

Looks like the have set a goal of having the traverse trail completed to a mile out by the end of the year.
Haul rope arrives and tips the scales at 21 tons This compares to 6 tons for Spillway West and 10 tons for Spillway East. They designed it to be heavier so as to help prevent problems with wind.
