I personally hope they keep 22 as it is. You don’t need more capacity lapping that terrain.
Chair 25 is a different story though. The master plan brings the base down to near 9 and it would be a great candidate for conversion to a HSQ. I could even see them going with a HS6 given the l longer term goal to drive skier traffic towards that side of the mountain, as it’s pretty under-utilized vs the adjacent Canyon/Chair 5/Chair 10 area. It would give them a chance to re-orient the flow of that pod down to the base of 9 and really separate the beginner skiing pod they want to build around Eagle/top of Eagle.
Specifically this chair? If so, why? What makes this chair more dangerous or, I guess, in need of “safety”, than all the other older triples without comfort bars?
They’re not “necessary” in the way I think you mean, where you’re gonna die if you don’t use it, but I think for a resort it’s definitely a liability so maybe it is necessary for covering themselves

This lift or Chair 25 would be ideal candidates to upgrade to high speed quads in the near future depending on how things go with the Canyon upgrade.
