and i realize the environmental repercussion this could cause, but at the same time, i really believe this is the start of something big... all you have to do now is throw a tram from the top of grizz over to PC, and boom: all major 7 resorts are basically connected into one. so much BC access becomes crazy easy accessible.      i sort of feel like a douche for being stoked on this, because i know what it could do to the wildlife up and around wasatch, not to mention the tourism in SLC and PC...

yea, i read about that. That's a whole lot of really good jump terrain, on top of everything else I worry that alta won't allow people to build flagstaff gap, or the stepups and hips in that area anymore. Plus, it's south facing... I don't even see how they are going to groom any of it. That's the type of terrain that you hike super early before you get sun effect, then dip.

I don't know, I don't really like it. I think there's other terrain they could go for first maybe, that might make a little more sense.

very interesting indeed. lots of pros and cons to be taken into effect. i wonder just how much terrain it would open up and how much of it would still be usable for building jumps like trever said..

should be dope to see how it develops.
