Fitzsimmons 8 looks almost done. Terminals are up, haul rope is being spliced this weekend and looks like just the comm line and chairs left to go on. But… no lift huts or controls in sight. Hope they show up soon and the chair will be ready earlier than the last few WB projects.

Really glad things arent going as planned for Wasatch Peaks Ranch and that Residents are getting a say in things. Private resorts for the ultra rich don’t benefit anyone.

I agree. They are trying to strong arm the local community and government to see things their way. It isn’t a good business model and creates a bad relationship with the community. Yellowstone finally has reaped the benefits once they put a true business model in place. Hermitage Club is another example of screwing with the government and paying dearly. Once the new ownership came in they have started to make things work.
Wasatch Peaks Ranch is like and episode of Yellowstone, send Beth in to kick their butts in.
