    I thought the new six pack will be named Cannonball Express, then Eldo Express, but then Alpenglow.

    I was at Winter Park this past weeked and I was talking to guest services. They said the Sunnyside Lift would be stored and be reinstalled at Eldora. Any idea where this lift would go?

      My guess is the new Jolly Jug lift. Although I thought that the master plan had it as a high speed lift.

      I heard it was being saved for a Vasquez Cirque expansion lift. Either way much better than the scrapyard!

    Any updates on the Jolly Jug expansion?

    Also I see a proposal for some regrading on Alpenhorn where it connects with Muleshoe. This is needed as it can get icy and is tough intersection.

      Within the next few years hopefully we’ll be installing a high speed quad serving all new trails to the left of Alpenglow and behind Sundance. It’ll be great to have that new terrain – I also agree with changing the intersection of Alpenhorn and Muleshoe, but that’s not my department unfortunately.

      ”Will be for sale in the coming weeks…” not “is for sale”.
