Loon desperate needs more trails off of this lift. While the bottom half of the East Basin trails are technically lappable here, 95%+ of skiers go to Walking Boss, Flume, and Sunset (to at least Tote Road), with the former two having so much traffic that they frequently ice on weekdays and the latter’s traffic mostly being from people departing the North Peak pod altogether.
I hesitate to promote converting Walking Boss Woods to a proper trail given its limited separation from Walking Boss and Loon’s overall shortage of lengthy glades (especially with Undercut going away). So, if the USFS/SUP permit it, going further into Boyle Brook Basin is probably the best option, even if some trails cannot cut back to the base of this lift and have to feed into Brookway.
