I just hope SC6 is ready to roll in 60ish days !
On my last visit to the base area it appears they have a lot of work to do and hearing some parts aren’t even in the states yet.
The other massive undertaking this year that nobody’s talking about is all of the new snow making lines running up to swifty, which aren’t even fully connected or finished.
Any idea of where the snow making will be added? Increasing the skiers on SC by 50% will definitely exacerbate issues at the top and down the highest trafficked runs including the trail to Powder Seeker and Mr K.I just hope SC6 is ready to roll in 60ish days !

Don't worry the back up would be Explorer to Challenger.Since failure to complete it on time would be a catastrophe for the resort I’m hopeful it’s under control.
The plan is . . . there is no plan!Don't worry the back up would be Explorer to Challenger.
FWIW, Big Sky claims 25% increase in capacity, presumably because wider chair spacing (like PowderSeeker, which basically didn't change uphill capacity).Any idea of where the snow making will be added?

I think the ability to reduce wind holds and reduce equipment related delays will improve overall thruput (capacity).FWIW, Big Sky claims 25% increase in capacity, presumably because wider chair spacing (like PowderSeeker, which basically didn't change uphill capacity).
What the connector from Swifty to Powderseeker needs is some cutting into the side of the hill to widen it - it gets pretty chaotic at peak times (e.g., first run of day for lessons)
What lift is that?1st day in the books, man it feels great to have the earth moving under your feet. Opening of SC was met with a bit of fanfare
