Why is Sundance choosing to replace Flathead with a HSQ and not replacing Red’s with a HSQ and moving the current Red’s lift to Flathead? Red’s serves practically the entire upper mountain while Flathead only serves some black runs. Does it have to do with cost?

I wonder if Sundance is planning on extending Flathead to the top of Red’s making the entire upper mountain able to be lapped via one lift.

They apparently want to make a big expansion served by one HSQ. It will include the Flathead Zone.

Correct. The plan previously reported by Lift Blog called for moving the base of Flathead down next to the new Wildwood lift, extending the vertical in that pod by about 300 ft and expanding the skiable acreage further down the ridge on Bishop’s Bowl.

Where can I find the plan for the new HSQ? Still a bit confused on where the liftline will be.

Turns out I was incorrect. Based on the just published Friday News Roundup, it appears as though the new line for Flathead will run from the base of Wildwood all the way up to the current summit offloading next to Red’s.
This now makes it more clear why they are investing in a HSQ for this line instead of putting one in on the Red’s line – Flathead will now be running on a significantly longer line than Red’s and will likely become one of the premier expert pods in Utah with almost 2000′ vertical on a single line. I really like how this now segments the backside between Wildwood (700′ vert of beginner/low intermediate), Red’s (1300′ vert intermediate/advanced cruising) and the new Flathead (2000′ vert of advanced/expert terrain) to meet different needs.
New owners making a huge impact on the skiing experience with Outlaw, Wildwood and now Flathead – an absolute home run on every key on-mountain decision thus far.

Will Sundance expand into lower far east/bishops ridge with the addition of the HSQ?
