I feel that this is a bad way to do control work in the flagstaff area for several reasons. I feel a lift is overkill just to toss hand charges above the slopes of alta. Why cant patrol either skinn up like everyone els to drop there hand charges or use the Alta snowcat sking snowcat to go up grizzely to get the the ridge starting at Sliver Fork to control Davenport Hill. Or they could go up the Pole line to get to the Flagstaff/ superior area. Even with a lift, control work from Tanners to Davenport Hill will take longer and will be less efficent than with the traditional method of having the legengdary bartenderfrom the Goldminers "Trainer" bomb the heck out of the area with the howitizer.
Not ture some of the terrain around Flagstaff is alot steeper and gnarlry than Alta. Terrain like Cardiac Ridge, Superior and Room of Doom, Lighting Bolt Chute ect. are all gnarler than Alta.
