What expansion would you most like to see happen and where?

[St. Bear]

If plans for that are ever drawn up, I will light myself on fire and run into the Mountain Ops. Center to destroy any and all evidence of the plans.

I envision a bubble 6 pack to the summit, with a restaurant and zip lines as well.

A climbing wall would be a nice touch as well.

Of course, they'd have to grade and level a the more difficult terrain to accomodate the snowmaking and grooming. But it's all for the better good.

Gunny Bowl at Sundown!

Just wear a GoPro if you do!

Exactly. I already use those trails. The one near the pond is quite fun I think.

Just a common lift ticket is all this would take.

Years ago when I first skied at Stowe when you bought a multiple day ticket it included a common ticket to to ski at Smuggs. I don't think many people took advantage of that option.

I've mentioned this before but years ago Stowe used to sell single ride coupon books. Use one coupon to ride the Big Spruce chair, ski over to Madonna (that was the areas name at the time), buy a lift ticket at Madonna & ski there all day, at the end of the day take the Sterling chair up & ski back over to Spruce. Did it many times back then but now it's cost prohibitive. The coupons had no expiration & could be used anytime

There was a time when you didn't need to buy a coupon at all. Both mountains offered 1 free lift ride and they just hole punched your ticket or if you had a season pass they gave you a coupon and just wrote your name down so you couldn't get another one that day.

I'm going to need some matches.

Can still see the old lift line for this!

Just barely though....

I would like to see a peak to peak gondola over I-93 from Cannon summit to Lincoln or Lafayette Summit and a trail pod to Lincoln's throat and rest of the backside and some trails down to the gap with a tunnel under 93 to retrun.


Now, that would be an expansion.

That would be frickin crazy.

I bought several single ride tickets last year at Smuggs. I love that they still offer the option.

Way back when Cannon first announced their expansion plan, one thing that didn't end up getting built was a trail from somewhere on Middle Cannon Bypass into the top of Banshee. Suspect it'd require a lot of blasting and be hard to keep snow on, but that would be ludicrously steep.

Someone posted a picture of Cannon where you can see that trail pretty clearly.

Unofficially yes.

You ever ski that?

 

[Smellytele]

The thinner one on the right seems to avoid the cliff section

I would like to see the planned expansion of Ragged (Pinnacle Peak) take place since they may use the Spear Triple and then put in a HSQ on Spear mountain.

I am anxious for the West Bowl to get implemented at Jay Peak!

Also West Bowl at Burke!

 

[Puck it]

You ever ski that?

I have not. There is a pretty sketchy section with a lot of rocks and some drops too. It needs a lot of snow. The entrance is close to where the picnic table and grill are on Bypass.

I have skied this one and it does avoid the bad and no real drops.
