Hi folks, I almost can't believe how long it has been since I've posted on here...college has a way of taking lots of time! Anyway, I have a relatively simple question that I thought I'd throw out here to see if anyone has an answer to. What would it cost to buy and install a brand-new high speed quad for a hill in the Midwest? Say, no more than 350 vertical feet and 2,000 feet long. Probably the most similar lifts to what I'm imagining are the three at Alpine Valley, WI. I'm using this information for a school project. Thanks!

P.S. This winter was absolutely horrible for skiing in Missouri. After a frigid week in December, Hidden Valley opened the second earliest ever, but after mid-January, things really started to go downhill. Half of this month consisted of 70 F days. They closed for the season on President's Day, and it appears that Snow Creek made it until Sunday but hopes to reopen this coming weekend. We had about three actual weeks of winter...it was sad :(

Somewhere between $3M & $3.5M installed not counting on using a helicopter for any of the towers or concrete.
That's a ball park figure for class projects :wink:
