I thought I'd make a specific thread for discussion of issues surrounding Slidebrook, as there are some good posts on the subject in the Lift Ticket thread that many people might just ignore due to the thread title. I have a lot of questions, but no answers:



1) What is the nature of SB's operating permit in the Slide Brook and Lockwood Brook basins?

2) Does this permit forbid them or otherwise restrict who they pick up on German Flats with their shuttles and the number of shuttles they can use to do so?

3) What is the current status of SB's relationship with the USFS and are there prospects for an increased ski area presence in the basins (obviously w/o any discussion of lifts or formal trails)?

Would love to get the locals' info here.
