I'll be up the first week of December and I'll see what I can see. That doesn't sound good.Just drove by Attitash. No towers for the new lift, no bottom terminal. Doesn’t look good.

I'm hearing your neck of the woods is very safe?We all have a purpose on the internet sometimes![]()
"ALL RIGHT, I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU!!!! NO EPIC FOR YOU!"Same. It's literally a scam email intending to deceive their customer base. That company is a serious piece of work.

I thought it was interesting even last season that Vail went with Dopp for the 2 highspeeds they installed at Mount Snow (which previously had only had L/P high speed lifts) and the new 6 pack at Stowe. I haven't been able to read as to who they're having install the new 6 pack at Hunter for next year? You'd think that if L/P has fallen out of Vail's graces for some reason the last few years, that they'd want to make sure that the installation at Attitash was running as smooth and quickly as Mother Nature allows....Yeah, this is not good at all. Again, Vail is not a small single ski area and I would have thought that LPOA would be all over getting this lift done and ready on-time. Unless LPOA did not have a set end-date.
I can't believe how far Attitash has fallen. They were the shit in the 1980's and 1990's.

Well, isn't Stowe's Forerunner a Dopp? So that would make sense there. Don't know about Mount Snow, perhaps Dopp had more capacity back East last year for installs than L-P? Pretty sure Mountaineer went L-P as Dopp was all but maxed otherwise in the East already.I thought it was interesting even last season that Vail went with Dopp for the 2 highspeeds they installed at Mount Snow (which previously had only had L/P high speed lifts) and the new 6 pack at Stowe.

Vail goes with whichever manufacturer is cheapest. That's all they care about. Shareholder value.
Yeah, not so sure on that one ss20. A decade ago, sure I'd agree. But Dopp has huge pull on this side now and L-P is building their huge new manufacturing campus in Utah right now. Pretty sure NA is on their radar and dialed in.I would think it's also about spreading across manufacturers to not overwhelm. Covid also exposed how fragile supply chains for these lifts are... us in North America are minimal priority for these manufacturers who are doing massive amounts of business in Europe.
"Don't speak so negatively about one of my fanboys! That is not very nice. Now back to talking about lifts!"I know this guy has autism but I still think he's also a master level troll…
