I figured out how to suspend the line above the valley. So here are a few more angles:

From Mittersil traverse -


From Artist’s Bluff -


From Haystack -


From the Basin -


From the Old Man Viewing area next to Profile Lake -

Add some lift lines for three chairlifts. One up from the notch to Lafayette, then one off the north and one of the east side.


What a plan that would be.

Right where I want to be
Ok, two more insane ones then I’m done! These may require some carbon nanotube technology to pull off.
BootSpur2Wildcat (2 mile long span)


Snowfields to Wildcat (3 mile long span)

Just to Lions head would work better. How about the top of Black to wildcat? :spin: as long as we are talking crazy.

Those two do not do it for me. I like my original better.

The NNW side of Lafayette gets too windswept and going direct down into the notch would defeat the purpose of the Peak2Peak tram. I'd go with this layout instead...

I know. I can dream though. The slide and drainage off of that side looks nice though. I like the two of the east side. The ones to the west are a little mush I would just run one up the drainage to the summit of either mtn.

In my mind, northern New England
Any news on the single chair from the Joe Dodge Lodge to HoJo's? What about the t-bar from Hermit Lake to the bowl at Tux? I thought there was an EB 5 application for that. Maybe I can gin up some interest from some Asian investors.:)
