    After Cold Springs next year, I think this is the next lift that gets replaced at Sun Valley. Perhaps move the bottom terminal to be adjacent to Seattle Ridge to make it accessible from Roundhouse and run the liftline up Lookout Bowl. Lookout would probably be removed at the same time because it becomes unnecessary once there are a beginner and intermediate route down to the bottom terminal.

      Please don’t replace Mayday. The triple keeps the crowds away. It’s also cool.

    It would be nice to see at least one fixed grip stay at Bald but if it is needed for this to be upgraded, then go for it. Keep Lookout.

      If Mayday is replaced it should be a new fixed grip again, no to Detachable.
