Here is a shot taken 9/24/05 showing the location and progress on the new lift at Breckenridge. The peak is Peak 8 at 12,998. The Lake Chutes are out of the picture to the left:

The Lake Chutes are out of the picture to the left: http://homepage.mac.com/saemisch/Temp/NewChair.jpg Where's the poles? Are they gonna pull an Alta? They better get on it. 27F low last night here. I think the ?? labeled spot is the site of the future 70,000 square foot patrol "shack" and mall. That's how we do it here in Utah. They need to dig it down more though to use the "we're just restoring it to the original skyline" ploy. The new Solitude lodge is pretty much up as a shell, and the new quad is about done. Bad news is lift tickets will be $50 and single rides $5.20. Ouch. Hiked up past the Alta mine with dawgs yesterday. There was still about 4 feet of avalanche debris at the bottom of the Money Shot, AKA Doug's Drop, the shot we skied Halloween last year. Well, I think I better build a fire. It's 57 degrees in the house. Breakfast in fleece. -klaus |

The "??" must be the liftee outhouse. I bet it has a better view than yours. Either that, or a mall. Mike... -- See my ski photography at http://Powderday.us Carpe powder-diem |

Bragging rights secured, plus leaving just enough of a hike to the summit that us tourists can feel like studs for doing it. Smart. bw |

Well, the tourists maybe can feel like studettes with a seated ride and a stroll up the ridge, but studlyness requires the full dogleg t-bar and a bit of a climb. I can just hear the conversation in the lines (there WILL be lines) about how much coler it was before... I wonder if the chair seats will be heated. |

Nice lift, but what Breck usually doesn't have is snow.

There are never any problems with no snow where that lift is built.

Tell that to the bottoms of my skis! Two core shots in one season is
high for a lightweight guy like me. I had only a few days there on which I thought the coverage was genuinely and consistently good. But, I'm trying to recall whether I was there particularly early. It would help if ski patrol would mark the big hole makers a bit better. Chester Bullock wrote: SriBikeJi wrote: Nice lift, but what Breck usually doesn't have is snow.
