    I know you usually pull your data from SAM, but there is no way that Elevation’s vertical and length are correct. Given the number of chairs, I’m inclined to guess the length is wrong.

    In this article https://www.sunpeaksresort.com/explore/stories-inspiration/a-day-in-the-life-of-sunburst that Peter linked to on twitter, theres a cool photo of the old Shuswap double. Not a single other run visible besides the lift line.

    Incidentally, it looks like a (very lengthy) Hall to me, not a Mueller as the spreadsheet says.

    Removed 1993… I wonder if they re-used its towers for the West Bowl T-bar which went in in 1993? But then again, the T-Bar has a Hall drive and return that must have come from somewhere.

    Is the west bowl express going in the same alignment as the old T-bar?

      No, but it is similar. I believe they are extending the line down a bit for the West Bowl Express.

        Yeah, they are extending it quite a way down.
