woah! I didn't think that this would happen so soon.

 

[hollygrove]

neither did i!

doubling whitewaters skiable terrain? cool!

 

[Drail]

wow. i'm impressed. whitewater will be changed forever. I know a few friends that aren't going to like their precious backside "ruined" with this lift, but I personally think it's a great thing for both the hill and the skiers that use it.

 

[rudager]

Thank god.

Lane and I found that hill rather boring with the limited terrain and lack of knowledge.

 

[jca]

Any news on the progress of this bad boy?

 

[Gstrong]

soooooooo stoked on this

 

[hollygrove]

lift line is cut and poles are going in next week. wooooooord.

 

[Avifarer]

yeah.guess i have to try and make a trip out to nelson this winter

 

[jca]

stokt!

 

[hollygrove]

went and hiked it last week.

(this photo is from about halfway up)

the lift line is about as steep as the short steep pitch on blast, but the whole way down. They're only going to be cutting three runs in for this season so the rest will be gladed and nice.

get pumped.

 

[Gstrong]

where exactly is it?

The way they cut the top made what looks to be a few really sick features, some nice hits right under the lift line to get people holloring!!! Woo!
