Did somebody already say what’s happening to the old lift? Anybody know?

@Peter knows lifts and their whereabouts.
He keeps a database of em.

Highmount is in, Cathedral Brook is out?

"The Olympic Authority is proposing widening sections of the following existing Alpine trails: Utsayantha, Cayuga, and Deer Run. In addition, an existing maintenance road will be widened and converted into an alpine trail (Goat Path) that will connect to the Utsayantha trail and provide a less difficult alternative for skiers to descend from the summit.

The following previously approved Alpine trails are no longer proposed: Cathedral Brook (upper section), West-1, West-2, West-6, and HMT-9B. The combined length of these trails is approximately 1.6 miles. This mileage will be subtracted from the Ski Center’s total mileage of trails over 30 feet wide; see Table 1 below, and provided in Exhibit 2 attached to this UMPA, for a summary of the trail mileage at Belleayre."

Let's hear it from the Belle regulars. What does the West Chair accomplish?

I had never heard of abandoning trails to stay within the mileage limits. Has this been done before?

Proposed Management Actions

The proposed trails in the Belleayre West area have been revised either through abandonment or realignment to accommodate how the current trail network operates today. The focus of these changes is to reduce the number of intersections in our more popular trails in the areaincluding Dot Nebel and Deer Run. The base terminal of the proposed Belleayre West lift wasadjusted to be more uphill, reducing the runout and the trails in that area were adjusted accordingly.

A. Abandonment of Previously Approved and Existing Alpine Trails

1. Abandon upper section of Cathedral Brook
2. Abandon West-1
3. Abandon West-2 (lower)
4. Abandon West-6
5. Abandon HMT-9B

B. Realignment of Previously Approved and Existing Alpine Trails

1. Realign West-2
2. Realign West-3
3. Realign West-5

C. Widening of Existing Alpine Trails

1. Utsayantha: The proposed action is to modify the existing Utsayantha and Goat Path trails (Figure 4, Sheet 2). Utsayantha Trail will be widened anywhere from 40 feet to 60 feet to allow for ample snowmaking and will modify the existing trails conditions to accommodate intermediate skiers. A full trail inventory and analysis can be found in Exhibit 2. Tree cutting will be required for this effort and tree counts have been completed. For a full analysis of tree counts please see Exhibit 3. Additionally, see Figures 5a and 5b which illustrate the slope and elevation profile of the proposed Utsayantha Trail widening. A work plan is currently in progress.

2. Cayuga: The proposed action is to widen the existing Cayuga trail anywhere from 20 to 75 feet where it meets the existing Deer Run trail (see Figure 1). This trail widening willallow for additional skier capacity.

Is that true? That is next level corruption if it’s true- like Saudi Royal family level.

Didn't they have a raffle, or a sales price or something? I thought the chairs were open to the public to acquire?

Maybe I'm mis-remembering seeing something about it on social media.

 

[Brownski]

You’re probably right

 

[TheGreatAbyss]

Yeah it's on their IG page, they sold them all.

Did it say cash only? Pull up behind rentals and honk twice?
