The long haul lift was running at the same speed. 375 fpm. I really dont know why people seem to think that they are faster one day than the other. Maybe becuase less people are fallin getting on the lift. therefore you get to the top faster. the only lift besides the bunny lift that we would put under 375 fpm is shuttle on days when there are a ton of beginners fallin. thats to try to keep the lift fron stoppin to much. Our lifts are also longer than alot of other ones in the area. Shuttle and Iron horse should take you guys up in 7.5 minutes if the lift never stops. Phoebe snow is like 6 minutes non stop and Long haul is 14.5 minutes non stop. Hay time it when your on the lift, if its longer than that let me know, but we have digital drives that are very good at keeping that speed. THE STATE DOESNT TELL YOU HOW FAST YOU COULD RUN? TELL JOE MARCHIONI THAT FROM THE STATE. IF YOU DONT KNOW HE IS THE HEAD OF SKI LIFT INSPECTIONS. YOU HAVE TO RUN NO FASTER THAN WHAT THE LIFT WAS DESIGNED FOR. CAN YOU RUN IT SLOWER? ... YES. FASTER... DEFINATELY NOT. WHO AM I? IM THE LIFT DIRECTOR. THE LIFTS ARE CAPABLE OF 375 FPM. SHUTTLE GETS SLOWED DOWN SOMETIMES BECUASE OF BEGINNER SKIERS. THEY CANT LOAD SA FAST AS AN EXPERT.

TAKE IT FROM AN INSIDE GUY, SNO HAS NO PLANS TO CLOSE EARLY. IF YOU GUYS KEEP COMING SNO WILL BE OPEN TIL THERES ONLY GRASS LEFT ON THE TRAILS. THERES A TOUGHT OUT THERE THAT SNO WILL CLOSE EARLY TO START CONSTRUCTION ON SUMMER EVENTS. NOT TRUE, IF SKIERS AND BORDERS ARE COMING SNO WILL BE OPEN. AS FAR AS CHARGING SEASON PASSES HOLDERS 10 BUCKS, CANT SEE IT. SNO KNOWS WE HAD A LATE OPENING AND WANTS TO GIVE THE SEASON PASS GUYS AS MANY DAYS AS POSSILBE OUT ON THE SLOPES. YOU GUYS TRUSTED US AND PURCHASED PASSES BEFORE WE OPENED. THAT MEANS ALOT TO US. AND AS FOR THE NEW HIGH SPEED........ IF THERES IS ONE WHERE WOULD YOU GUYS WANT IT? AND BY THE WAY, PLEASE QUIT SMASHIN MY NUTS ABOUT LIFT SPEED, THERE ARE AS FAST AS THE STATE LETS US GO.
