Replying to New Run at Marble Mountain
I was at Marble for the 'open house' and gear swap today, and I also took a look at the new run that has been cut. It starts on the cross cut at the bottom of Autobahn, merges briefly with Hoh Chi Minh, then cuts into the woods to the skiers' left and underneath the Black Mariah chair, then turns to skiers' right and ends in the woods between the Black Mariah and the run 'Old Sam'. The slope is pretty gentle, I'd say around 20-25 degrees for most of it, so it will most likely be a blue square, which Marble's website concurs with. I couldn't take any pictures because the camera batteries were dead. Right now the run consists of mud and rocks with a John Deere excavator near the bottom. Topographical changes to the terrain park have not yet been begun, if they are going to occur at all.
