This last weekend I skied at Snowbird and really had to work to find powder or any snow that wasn't chunky or icy but the whether was nice so you can't really complain anyway here are the pics.

Top of Little Cloud. Little Cloud is first on the priority list for replacement at Snowbird and will become a High Speed Quad sooner or later.

Here is the Bottom of Gad 2 with all the chairs sitting in the area ussually occupied by skiers waiting to get on the lift. Looks kind of odd with out the chairs if you ask me.

Here is the old bottom station of Gad 1 that has been used for storage ever since Gadzoom was installed.

The base of my favorite lift at Snowbird, Peruvian. And now with the Zip Rider forcing them to remove the wood shack over Chickidee Peruvian is the only lift with the nice looking wood A frame

Great pics. Is there anything on top of Chickadee now besides the platform?

That's unfortunate- another old cool lift goes down.

Will they call its replacement Big Cloud?

[SkiBachelor]

I presume that the new HSQ will be realigned to terminate next to the top of the tram.

[iceberg210]

Nope there is nothing over Chickidee now which kinda sucks as the wood shack looked so cool. Anyway I have no idea on the placement of the HSQ that will replace Little Cloud but it would make alot of sense to put it up to the Tram and Mineral Basin Express.

[floridaskier]

They should end it up there instead of in the middle of a run, but there isn't a whole lot of room, it might get a little crowded up there

[SkiBachelor]

I think there is room up there, but the warming hut would have to be relocated.

[iceberg210]

There has to be room if they think that they can build a 600,000 sq feet conference center up there so I'm guessing that the top station of a lift could easily fit.

[SkiBachelor]

600,000 sq ft? Are you sure about that? That's freaking huge, that's like the size of costco.

more then just one Costco.......

[floridaskier]

It would have to be stacked up, or leaning off the edge to fit it up there. It's a nice view, but what if the tram breaks down?

[iceberg210]

Sorry one too many zeros. It was only going to be 60,000 sq ft which albeit is alot but not as big as 600,000 sq ft. Sorry for the mistake
