Yeah, I second the Breckenridge vote.

Yeah that was the projected develpment of the peak 8 condos but they were unable to aquire that plot of land and there was alot of oposition from everyone in the existing neighborhood. I think that I have a master plan of the neighborhood somewhere, I'll try to find it if anyone is interested in seeing it.

Was that group of condos going to be serviced by a run? If so, would it have a lift too?

There was no plan for lifts but as you can see runs would be cut to ski back. The main expansion in that area was the instalation of whats shown in that picture and the area already cleared in the trees is the already developed neighborhood.

I'm a little confused still, can someone draw on the trail map where this spot is?

This is where I suspect the developed will be (blue square).

That is the proposed area plus taking out some of the homes on the uphill side of the street drawn in on that map but last I heard, as of 2 weeks ago it is not happening or will take many aditional steps before its even more than just an idea.

I was passing through Prince Rupert toady and found what I thiknk is the former gondola that served the ski area at the summit of Mount Hayes. A.R.M. had given me some information about the gondola and development in the past and I was also able to gain some knowledge arround town. The gondola was a Meuler and was removed due to a fire at the summit terminal, sorry for the poor picture quality, all I had with me at the time was my cell phone. It looks like the towers are now used for power or telephone lines. The cuts for the ski area are still very visable from town if you know what to look for. The road is not gated or posted no tresspassing but is a nasty access to the base of the lift, I would recomend that anyone seeking to vist it have a good 4X4.

Pictures 1 and 2 are at Big Rock in Maine.
Pictures 3 and 4 are at Bear Creek PA.
5th pic is at Norway Mountain.
The last three are of the instalation of the last Partek at Willard Mountain.

Here is a Riblet chairlift in Chile, South America:

Anyone know anything about this lift along the Beartooth Highway in Montana?

I believe it's used by a race camp.

Someone is in the liftie box.

Probably a mechanic.

Spacing on one side and crowding on the other. I wonder why they do that.

Well I noticed that chairs were offlined a few months ago so they must have been onlining the chairs.

Uh oh - I think I see some of Mikest2's employees misbehaving!!
