It's too bad cause it is a nice and convenient place to meet with friends after a great day on the mountain.Quote:

More Beer!!! :lol:

Not to hijack the thread, but, where are they going to fit the other trail next to Hoyt's? From the plans, the lower half of the second trail was supposed to squeeze in between Hoyt's and the lift, but it doesn't look like there's enough room there.
I HOPE the compromise won't be to just widen Hoyt's in order to handle the increased traffic. We've got enough wide boulevards on the mountain.
It is suppose to go further down pats lookout below on Wilmington and then meet at the bottom of the lift.Quote:

I’ve thought this myself. When there is enough snow on it that trail looks great. It has a nice pitch, not too wide, some rocks to drop off if you want; it just has a very nice flow to it. People who I’ve spoken to that have poached it love it.Quote:

Gore also categorizes them as glades so they may not even count against their trail mileage limit, I’m unclear on that.
Here’s a picture I took of Dark Side Glades a couple of seasons ago. There is far more exposed rock then there is under I lift (Freeway lift).

The terrain under Chair 6 is also skiable, but a power cable would have to be moved. Under I lift all that would have to be done is take down the rope.
The trail that is now Blazer’s Bluff was blocked by a wood fence for a lot of years. Then a couple of years ago they took the fence down, which was a great idea. When it has snow it, it is a fun little trail to ski. Under I lift would be even better IMO. Let’s hope someday they drop the rope and let people ski it. High Peaks Drifter glade has a nice ring to it, don't ya think? :wink: :lol:
The Jägermeister girls where at Stienhoff's one night the season before this and I asked one of them if they would be at the lounge this year. She said WF wasn't on their schedule anymore. She didn't know why.Quote:
