not a fan of that neon thing at Powder Mountain.

It’s not to my taste either, but I do like the idea of having art around the ski area and more creative expression around the lifts. Park City’s old art on the 3 Kings towers comes to mind. I think especially for less dedicated or newer skiers, it can add to the experience. That said, it should probably go on Hidden Lake instead of Paradise, given that the latter is the chair that most caters to an expert and dedicated crowd at PowMow.

There’s no way Red lodge still does not want to add bars to the triple chair, even after the incident. Anemometers make sense, the tower thing I don’t get, but still…

Bars may or may not of helped retained the rider during that violent deropement? But I am sure the general perception is that they would have?

I get that Ski Ward’s opening is always a bit of a stunt, but they did open. Funny to me that people just ignore it.
