Throne Traverse Construction Project

Think of it a high speed quad up sunrise then a groomer out to Glacier basin.From there put a tram all the way to the summit with a mid way station on steamboat prow we could have groomers down the Emmons and the Winthrop.Who do I have to call to get this idea off the ground.

While I dont like the idea of them shifting mountain ridges around it will be nice to just cruise to the gates (maybe too nice?). What does and will continue to anger me is traverse tracks (Exterminator, Bull Run, The Throne and the North face of the King) and the possible adding of a groomer down the fall line of cambell basin (Kempers ridge would be a good groomer though).

Its not going to be a Gondola its going to be a tram and Im all for that.

Exactly. too nice!

My bet -- the barrier for entry to SB is not the traverse, it's the fact that you have to carry your skis to get there.  The campbell bowl terrain will get tracked out quicker, I'm sure, but beyond that...

Totally agree with you..

I don't even think that campbell bowl will track out quicker, on a good powder day it gone in 30 minutes anyway. Beside the fact there is a huge line for the lift. At this point I doubt the traverse really does anything else other than damage ski bases, it sure doesn't keep anyone away...

I disagree it keeps myself and quite a few others friends away. I only have one solid board so I can't afford too many core shots.

I admit it may be different for me -- I couldn't care less about base damage, as it's (almost) all easily repaired and I like doing it.

Totally disagree with Marcus. Snowboarders will love new traverse. Kyle and his buddies will have Hamburger scraped of snow in 29 minutes.
