Suicide Six name change

[Chris O]

Any worthy suggestions or guesses at the new name?

My vote would be Summit Six.

It keeps the alliteration, changes only a few letters, sounds more like a Ski Area, and allows them to keep their iconic logo thats been used for decades.

Interested to hear others.

Cannon should have to change their name like the Washington bullets did..

Yes, it promotes violence.

Slaughter house six

Move the area to hill nine and name it Ice 9.......

 

[nycskier]

They should rename it Snowflake Mountain because clearly the owners are a bunch of snowflakes.

 

[Granite1]

Shouldn't deadheadskier have to change his name?

Woodstock 6

One more example of the political left going crazy. Someone doesn’t like a word and we can’t use it anymore. What ever happened to intent?

I’m pretty sure that this is a self-initiated change. Not one being demanded by others.

That’s not what local news is reporting.

Just use the old name when discussing the area if you don't like the new name.

They renamed one of the bridges over the Hudson from the Tappan Zee Bridge to the Mario Cuomo Bridge when they rebuilt it. Nobody I know calls it that, It's still the Tappan Zee Bridge to us. Always will be.

That is what most pilots still refer to it as when using it as a visual check in point to NYC. ATC refers to it as such as well. Same with the Cleveland Guardians. Colleagues that are fan's don't call them that, they still call them the Indians.

The only time a name change like this bothered me was QBurke. That was an outrageous and disrespectful move by an outsider purely for ego. Plus, it was the dumbest name for a ski area I’ve ever heard.

All of these others just gets a shoulder shrug from me. I wouldn’t have cared if Squaw Valley stuck with the name and it doesn’t bother me in the least that it’s changed.

Did Andrew Cuomo push for that change?

Did Andrew Cuomo push for that change?

Yes, I saw him interviewed about it years ago. He wanted to honor his father. I will always call it the Tappan Zee. It is a damn nice bridge though. NYS did a good job.

I was talking to the manager of the ski shop in the lodge a few years ago and the logo wear was already banned in schools because of the name. Its a shame. There is such ski history there.

Incredible how fast they built it

 

[cdskier]

Incredible how fast they built it

Not that I have much for comparison for construction of bridges that size today, but 5 years is fast? (Construction started in 2013 and the 2nd span opened in 2018). Only took a little over 3 years to build the original...
