CB Overhaul and Superpipe

These are quotes from the Crested Butte News. Figured some of you would be interested.

'While the promise of Teocalli Bowl’s terrain will not be realized this year, the access to Third Bowl, on the far northeast part of the ski area, is expanding from last season. Third Bowl will be open from the top this ski season, instead of from the middle, like last ski season.'

'Other lift changes include a new T-bar for the North Face Lift instead of Poma platter poles to access the expert terrain, “Extreme Limits.� '

'Included in the improvement plans, the resort has purchased the “Zaugg,� a Super Pipe cutter, to install a new giant half-pipe on the mountain. “The Super Pipe is huge,� Prout says. “It’s like what they use on the X-Games.� The half-pipe will be 55 feet wide 18 feet high, with a slope of 17 degrees.'

'Also, 10 to 12 new rails will be added to the Canaan terrain park under Paradise Lift.'
