Say what you want about Vail, but they build lots of new lifts. 19 announced for 2022. https://liftblog.com/2021/09/23/breaking-vail-resorts-to-build-19-lifts-at-14-resorts-in-2022/

with all that added uphill capacity at mount snow, it will be more likely you contract covid on piste than in the lodge

They're consolidating two triples into one 6 pack and replacing a fixed grip quad with a high speed. Both are being built in currently underutilized areas. It's not the apocalyptic scenario you envision. On the subject of covid, I think the reason this announcement is so big is because Vail sees the pandemic resulting in more people doing outdoor activities, which is good for the ski industry.
Vuck Fail.

100% opposed to this ever happening...but when vail eventually buys Smuggs, I'm curious what they do with the lifts and terrain. Does the notch become "in bounds" ?

Please no
same
I would think so
I'd guess no. Tough place to sweep at the end of the day.
