Since Boyne purchased the mountain they should just move the Jordan quad here to replace Summit Express and build a 6 pack at Barker instead of moving it there.
Shawnee/Pleasant doesn’t seem like a detachable type of place. It’s a low-key alternative to Maine’s Big Two and the Conway resorts that Vail is mismanaging and I think most of its patrons want to keep it that way. The Boyne purchase is a good sign, but it doesn’t need much more than good maintenance.
Two employees have confirmed to me, a detachable quad will replace the summit triple in two seasons. Word is, the triple will remain to mid-station. That will give two lifts access to Sunnyside.
I have no idea of ownership or permitting, but there is plenty of expansion potential south of Sunnyside.
Local rumor is that there’s still no set timeline to install the HSQ but that it’s still happening… plan is to run it between the current Summit triple and Pine quad, skier’s right of the Main Slope. I’ve also heard that the triple will remain but be truncated at its midstation. Should make loads of capacity out of the main base area.
