I think there is further grading to be done. Here is information from Win on the building to the right of the lift:
The big building to the right of the new lift looking up hill is for Mountain Water and Lift Maintenance. The bottom floor contains two sand filters where water from Clay Brook flows to be filtered and fed into the overall water system in the winter. Only our wells are needed in the summer. These filters were in the old building basement which was torn down. The second and third floors of the new building with be for lift maintenance. They will have their lockers there, storage for parts and a work area for repairs. They were in the Vehicle Maintenance building previously but this is better space for them and Snowmakers will now use their space which is better for them.
Interesting.

I definitely will take the Super Bravo lift first. Hate hiking to a lift. Yes I am lazy. That is steeper than it looks when there is snow.

There's a couple of good pictures of the top terminal & retaining wall in the MRV forum.

It's a bit of a hike to even get to the base lodge from the parking lot at Lincoln (better since they removed the stairs & put in a walkway). You'd definitely not ski Mt. Ellen if you had to park in one of the lower lots. Forget about getting to the Forerunner quad at Stowe from the Mansfield base lodge.
That is not going to be a hike of any significance. I dont know that they are doing any grading down there.
Agreed...and compared to what it was before with the old VH lift, I'll take this any day!

Did anyone check out the pictures of the top? Pretty large retaining wall up there at the Mall entrance.
had to be. You couldn't tell from the pictures i posted previously but there was a big drop off.

Good point but I will take a warm up run from Super Bravo first and ski to it.

They're on the SkiMRV forum located at the bottom. You have to register there to see them. I'd post them here but can't seem to be able to C&P them.
Win has also added insight in that forum.
Since one of them was my pic anyway, I suppose I can repost it here to make things easier
I thought that site was deserted...
Haven't been on in years now I hear Win is posting in it!

It's not! It's been very active lately. Over the summer it does become deserted though.

Wonder how many folks will find a way to launch that midweek when the lift is closed.
