The real test on traffic flow will be this weekend. Potential snow in the forecast and the holiday will bring big crowds. Curious to see how the new lift dissipates traffic away from Ursa.

We skied Stratton Sat and Sun. The new lift is awesome. It has already changed the traffic patterns. The Ursa access trail was less crowded and the only time we waited in the corral at Ursa was one time at about 10:30 on Saturday. At that point each line in the corral was about 3 or 4 groups deep. It took us about 7 minutes to get on the Ursa. The trails off the Ursa were less crowded and not completely scraped off after lunch.
Hopefully, now that more people will be skiing the trails off the new lift Stratton will blow some snow on Spruce/Liftline/Slalom Glade/Drifter. Usually, after they open these trails, they do not blow any more snow on these trails.

I think the Shooting Star6 will become the lift Stratton does not use during off peak times. Since the Ursa is no longer overrun, you can direct the traffic from the Sun Bowl to Ursa to get to the upper trails.

Your talking about early/late season. Having enough crowded on weekdays to need both 6 packs would be insane.
They've been running Shooter from 10am till 2pm during the midweek.
