That would be fun...

But I think I recall Mr. Diller saying that a new lift is not feasible, because then ticket prices would soar to $100 and beyond or something along those lines.

If anyone goes to this meeting a report would be much appreciated!! Surprised this doesn't create more of a stir around town (or at least on the board)...maybe the issue is stale? Make it happen, Seth!!

there is quite a bit of speculation/ voicing of opinions going on on the unofficial sugarloaf chat...

Tram the backside-backside, clear cut that stuff and throw a tram up the middle. 10000x sicker IMO

My uncle is on the board and he was there. He said seth blew them away and it was a great speech. I wouldnt be suprised if a gondola wasn't in place within the next 3 or 4 years.

Seth's presentation can be viewed here. Some interesting ideas delivered in a very compelling fashion.

Im sorry, but thats just an awful idea. If the backside was developed, then it wouldnt be as much fun because people who dont know their shit would flood it and get lost and die. I would much rather hike than have all that traffic.

Amazing!
Seth really helped push the issue of lifts to the priority, and he's right, lifts are the area that Sugarloaf could improve the most in. I beleive that replacing spillway and and this particular project are the most urgent problems that Sugarloaf should conquer.

Seth reminded us how the old gondola and current golf course attract people, and I beleive that this would do the same.
The benefits could be enormous. Not to mention how much fun it would be ;).

"So let's get off our hands, and climb back to our summit."

:D
