Now that shows it nicely. Here are some numbers I scaled from topo maps:

Chair top elevation: 4025-4050 feet,
Bottom of chair: 2475 feet,
Bottom of new blue run: 1800 feet,
Bottom of gondola: 1200 feet.

I just can't wait to ski that blue run top to bottom.It will be an excellent way to warm up before hitting the black diamond trails.

I copied this from another forum. Interesting look, but I think it makes it look smaller then it actually will be.

You're right about it being smaller than it actually is. First, it would top out slightly higher than shown. Second, the intermediate run travels down the next ridge line over.

Seems smaller, but I do like the digital blur effect.

This is the obligatory question that's bound to be asked... Aside from skinning up the Toll rd. what kind of access will the top of this new chair give to the slides? Any guesses? Anyone been up to see it? I know it gets pretty sheer on that side, but I'm just not sure where the top of this chair is going to end up.

This is just my opinion; obviously, but if you were going to poach the Slides, which is what you'd be doing if you were to try and access them from the top of the LM lift, it'd be a much tougher bushwack than taking the Summit Quad, and skipping off the ridge after the old Slide access up toward the Castle.

Both will cost you a loss, maybe not a ride in a Statie's cruiser like a trip in from the toll road ( that is if you're caught ) but, even without that part of the equation, the spruce is stupid thick on that ridge line, and where the LM lift ends it's up, and into the next valley to get to the Slide face; talk about earning a turn.
