This is a topic where you post a picture of any resort lift installation YOU want that you have come up with or a lift design you came up with. Feel free to comment on any posts and say if you agree or not or the problems with the idea.

Please comment on what you think about these Squaw/Alpine ideas (some may be out of property I know, but say if they would be a good use of money if it was possible)

Dude your enthusiasm is great but you need to limit your topic creations. You've created like 20 in the last week

yeah I guess so

Replace the Sunnyside triple at Waterville valley with something that moves faster than a dead turtle and has chairs wide enough to actually look like a triple :p

I like the black diamonds on that side ; Ciao, Gema, True Grit.... they are all great. But the lift is super slow, and if you go by it to get down to White Peaks you wind up going down Valley Run with all the newbies which is no fun.

I'm not saying a high speed quad- space wouldn't really allow it, or it would be a bit of a tight pack at the top and bottom, but a Skyline Quad type of lift would be ideal. There would be space for it (maybe shift the line a couple feet to the left, not totally necessary though) and make the lift run 600 f/m with the loading carpet. Sunnyside is an expert lift anyways, the only time it gets traffic that isn't experts is either clueless people from Oblivion or April Fool's day people when white peaks shuts down ;)

Capacity doesn't need to go up, just have wider chair spacing so that the quad still gives the same capacity.
Then you'd have a 5 minute quad that brings you back up to the diamonds in a reasonable time

I cant help myself. Sugarloaf's 2020 plan is garbage. They want to replace a fixed grip quad that is on wind hold up to like 5 days a week with a DETACH starting lower and going on a different line. Also, they want a detach quad for a pod of about 4 trails. Those are their two main lift projects that would be a waste. I think that they need to put a 4 person gondola with lots of wind fencing, heavy cabins, and low towers starting at the old gondola midstation. Also, they could remake the look of the cabins and towers. Also, Sugarloaf's "Signature" lift NEEDS replacing with a sixpack and the old quad for parts or sale. The double runners are like 42 years old and could be replaced with a triple. This plan would probably cost about $15,000,000 which is only a bit more than their idea
