Did the Council ever think to ask those of us who live full-time/year round on the mountain in "condoland" if we like having all those "cold beds"? Not all that bad.
Hub, sorry, but have been out of town and don't live and die by the Pilot Forum online. Simple, they will remove the existing Gondola and move it to replace the Thunderhead. Why have 2 Gondola stops at the base area going up to the top.
By the way, did you see today's article on Steamboat Highlands? The new proposed 11 story condo/hotel on BC?
Hub. So here is what I heard. They are going to put in this new Gondola and it will run from the Meadows lot, stop at the base and then continue up to Thunderhead. Why have 2 Gondola's at the base. Have you ever been in line at the Gondola or the 6 pack on a busy day? Have you ever tried to drop off anyone at the so-called "Transit Center' what a ClusterF. Have you ever seen the line-up of Shuttle vans at the Thunderhead Lift in the morning or afternoon? They are already using it as a second base area. They have it in their plan to upgrade the Elk Head Lift and the Thunderhead is a good choice. So, here we are back at square one. Move the existing Gondola and create a new base area up on Burgess Creek.
As I said in a previous post and did you see the front page of the Pilot today? What DO you do with an extra Gondola? Why, lets move it to the best spot on the mountain for the locals. The Thunderhead area. Why not create another base area with acccess along the city paved road - Burgess Creek

Wow. Intrawest is really on the ball. I just heard that they are planning to take the existing Gondi out and move it to the Thunderhead Lift area and then move the Thunderhead to Elk Head.
Marthalee. You do realize that an owner can rent to as many people as they want year round, have a multitude of cars parked (or even abandoned) in the driveway and on a private street and neither the City nor you can do anything about that.
The Gondy cable is on a boat "albeit" slow from Switzerland...Let's be thankful that Intrawest has the bucks to actually pay for the cable to replace...something ASC could not afford!
Officials look at hot beds vs. green buildings

I wonder if that has something to do with the replacement of the Thunderhead lift with the Gondi??

Gondola options weighed
