1.In 20 years will there be lifts on burnt mountain?

2.Will we get more or less snow in the future?

3.Will there still only be a half a dozen resturaunts on mountain?



my awnsers
1. yes
2. more
3. I love geppetos..........................

1.) Yes.

2.) Depends how far in the future, in the near future, next 20 years or so, I would say less, but after that its anyones guess. It's all about cycles.

3.) Probably a few more, but nothing overwhelming.

Good forum/thread.

Burnt, yes.

Much less snow, unfortunately. Anybody who thinks global warming is not gonna happen has their head up, oh never mind.

Who cares, we have enough for mid-week.

They would most likely go in by Snowbrook, there is already a road that goes to the base of Burnt from when they were logging

Sugarloaf Owns Burnt Mtn

The initial plans do not call for a base lodge

It would be a lot of advanced and intermediate terrain

[k2trav]

Im not sure what the elevation of the bottom of the lift is, but that lift would be a high speed quad and the other would be a double

The trail heading west would connect back to Cross Haul so you could get back to the base

Back when they were talking about doing this plan, they said it would cost more than $5million

[k2trav]

The quad wouldnt go to the top because of wind, they figured if they invested that kind of money, they might as well do it so the lift could run as often as possible

Back when they were explaining the map, they said that trail is actually downhill and would connect to cross haul so you wouldnt get stuck at the bottom at the end of the day

Looks like its downhill to me by the lines on the topo. Burnt would be an awesome expansion. Lots of expert terrain. They would have to keep the trails narrow too because of the wind. just a dream...

[gamway73]

Burnt should be one lift up and then one giant glade down, except for the area underneath the lift. Ok, that won't happen, but it'd be nice.

[beedro]

Very true gamway...the glades would hold the snow just fine. Burnt Mt. would be so sweet. More appealing to the upper level skiers/riders. Unfortunately, the west mt development makes more sense financially being more family focused with beginner/intermediate terrain, and dual usage of facilities with the golf course.
