I wonder where the new lift that Bretton Woods wants to build would go, since many of their lifts are relatively new. I would guess it’s either a replacement for Bethlehem Express or the expansion lift to the summit of Mt. Stickney that was proposed for the early 2000s.
If it’s the former, then it would be cool to see that lift get a refurbishment and relocation like some other older Doppelmayr HSQs have gotten, even though it probably has quite high hours. Tenney Mountain and Big Moose Mountain are a couple places that come to mind that could definitely benefit from a used detachable.

Peter: I noticed that Poley Mountain is not listed on your Ski Areas of New Brunswick page (with link), even though you have a link to a Poley chairlift on the News Roundup page this week.

When I click on the the Liftblog.com/Canada page and reach a page that has New Brunswick on it, Mont Farlagne is the only ski hill page that comes up. As of this moment, the Poley Mountain link is not on the New Brunswick page

the upgrade of lift 7 to quad at Loveland would be a good improvement. The beginner area always seems busy and many beginners use neighboring lift 3 to midway resulting in many stops and slows on #3. Instructors being able to ride with their students is always a good advantage too.

With the Murray-Lattas at Seymour and Manning out, does that mean the one at Whitewater has to close as well? It sounds like the manufacturer has said that blue had to close because brockton had an issue.

June could really use a Funitel(or similar Quad Mono Cable) from the base up to the mid mountain
