After Plunge/#9 and Coonskin/#7 are replaced, this chair should be next. It already is pretty much maxed on capacity for a HSQ and still tends to have the worst lines at the entire resort. I could see a bubble 6 chair being great here, and this existing HSQ could be moved to replace the aforementioned #7 or #9.
TelSki announced that the Telluride Bike Park would not open this summer for the “Lift 4 Modernization Project”. Does anybody know more about the intent of the project?

I would probably use this to upgrade Plunge first, to shift more traffic over that way. (Detachables tend to be an easy way to do that)

Does anyone know why Village express has a longer return/ maintenance station than Ute park express? Is it so more chairs can be worked on?

I believe it is a seven figure systems upgrade but not a replacement. We’ve seen these at other resorts with new controls, operator houses, etc.
