Thanks for your blog. Look forward to Tuesdays. I worked 86 to 96 for Doppelmayr. I’m a lift junkie. Keep up the great work.

Makes me really happy seeing consistent updates on Saddleback, albeit every week or so. They clearly have been taking atvantage of the situation we’re in. Good for them.

2020 is shaping up to be a great year to buy a lift and have it finished on time. Both Rangeley and Davis, West Virginia are towns down on their luck and I can’t think of a better time for their respective ski resorts to come back to life.

Just biked past Gore’s high peaks line today. Most of the towers are gone and they were in the process of removing the top turnaround. Wish I got pictures but didn’t have my phone 😕
