Gondola needed
by alexnatt
Even the addition of the honeycomb canyon chair hasnt helped the resort's skier traffic flow. Put a gondola from the lower parking lot which ends at the top of the resort please. A short term, low cost idea would be to sell tickets at the base of the quad chair.
- Pros: good snow, small crowds
- Cons: bad lift system
