    dont ever speak of this again.

    I would make a marked glade on the skier left of downspout. Also they should add a way to get to the top of lew's line without taking downspout.

    The 2008 Vegetation Management Plan showed proposed trails. It included trails to BOTH skiers right and left of DS: one from intersection of Domino Chute and Organgrinder coming out right at base of HG lift. The other from Organgrinder (just up hill from DS) running down into Lower Ripcord just above the last drop before HG.

    Bunch of other good stuff too that we can only dream of, like the "pod" between Castlerock and North Linx.......

    The veggie management plan is an interesting read, or at least some parts of it are.

    +1. Plenty of options to avoid deathspout exist. No changes required.

    Most of that plan was wish list type stuff. I think SV has no real plans for most of that. They did implement some of the glades though.
    Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
    Got two good eyes but we still don’t see!

    Nope. Wish I was. Actually I was in Healdsburg, CA. (Sonoma/Alexander/Pope Valley/Russian River) Drinking Big Slutty Cabby Cab and Pinots. Terri had business and I tagged along and we met some friends that moved out there. My liver hurts! Good training for the season.

    What I thought was interesting is the lifts shown on the Far Right and Left at Lincoln Peak. The one on the left would go from near the parking area at 22 arce lot (across from snow creek) to the top of racers edge and the one on the Right would go from the corner at German Flats (across from the Sugarbush inn) to above the village run. These 2 lifts would give all the near mountain lodging lift access. Pretty cool. My property value would be going way up.

    Even more interesting and exciting are those planned or proposed trails to skiers right of Black Diamond and another one on the skiers left of Ext. Woods - presumably leading to the new lift above and to the lookers right of top of Inverness. Probably a short term pipe dream( 5 years?) but we can always hope. Exposure seems to be the largest element of concern. And maybe the high efficiency snow making guns makes this all possible?

    Agree it's a bit of a pipe dream. That said, the exposure is the same as North Lynx but would be about 200' higher in elevation. Probably not a major impediment - really comes down to financial capacity and the vagaries of the regulatory process.
