Yup, I agree... after looking at the proposed gondola map and then going over my own map, I just don't see how they can justify this huge expense of a gondola. It seems that the gondola will simply be a glorified taxi with nothing added to skiable terrain. Linking directly to Burnt Ridge or up to the North Chair would make so much more sense... maybe even spend the money to improve the North Chair to speed it up a bit!

And they say women are foolish with money. I say to hell with that sh!t. My sentiments exactly Sara. Twisted Evil

I've hiked the Schaeffer (my spelling is terrible!) trail that runs up that area and there are quite a few spots that can have wonderful trails and glades and other areas that are just far to clifflike or flat... I hope that when they cut trails they would be sensible and really pay attention to the fall line and the lay of the land.

We'll see though... it doesn't seem to follow common sense with this gondola scheme - but then hey, that's the state for 'ya!

Well the 5.5 isn't just for the gondola. Its for the new trail system too. I think its going to improve Gore and I'm in favor of it.

Not foolish when it comes to potentially messing with my skiing!

I'm still not convinced about the scope of the whole project. Knowing how government in general throws money into projects and then has to "fix" things later... I'm concerned... hopefully trails will be cut that add to the mountain terrain, the gondola idea will work out and the mountain will improve.

I was skeptical when they first proposed Topridge... I think my thoughts were "what are they nuts to put a trail in the full sun?" and knowing how side-pitch Pine Knot is made me wonder about Uncas. But that all worked out pretty well...

I wish that they would have some sort of open forum for skiers to have our two cents in this next stage of planning - maybe walk the land - make suggestions - I know that I would be up for a hike to let them know where I'd like to ski... whether they take our ideas or not - you never know what we could come up with. Cool
