Good find, Sno!
258 page RfP. 323 feet vertical rise. That's almost 1 page of RfP per foot of elevation. Smells like gubment to me!

The new lift will follow the existing Bear route, but extended downhill, so it won't start right at the base, but closer than it does now. With all the lessons being moved to Bear Den, the Mixing Bowl lift doesn't serve much of a purpose anymore, which is probably why they are looking to consolidate the two lifts.
The state is starting the process really late, given that this is a Summer 2021 job. They may end up paying a premium price because all the manufacturers are busy. It'll be interesting to see if they get another Skytrac, or go back to Doppelmayr for this project.
