Base of the new Sessel chair



My team of riding a motorcycle to the top of 1 is getting closer

Lot of rock

It could be a great line on a pow day

Well that was sick. Well done.

Yesterday in the heat:

Hyak is getting some cleaning up too

[Dromond]

I am pumped for the new chair line at Alpy. Is that tree thinning next to Hyak face in the photo? ^

[snoqpass]

Hyak is getting some cleaning up too

It is, trying to go all the way down, get off the chair and make a hard right


20' tall willow patch, hopefully it will fill in quicker and can open with less snow, Mom's got brush cut too, and the brushing the lower part of Debbie's/Sessel too

That is some landscaping I can really get behind

[snoqpass]

In case you missed it the Thunderbird Lodge is no more. the demolition started the other day and went pretty quick now its a matter of hauling the debris down the hill, hopefully theres a place for old ski lodges to go, I'm old enough to remember actually going inside while it was open to the public, the first photo I took last winter

What a shame. During the two seasons in the 80's I slung drinks at the pass we had MANY a good time at the T-bird. One of my homies was the manager.

The smell of burgers grilling, drinking beers out in the sun in the spring. That type of ski lodge - where you can stop in, sit by a roaring wood fire, drink a beer, eat decent and reasonably - is a dying breed. And that's a damn shame.

If I close my eyes I can see the turtlenecks

Fucked that up. Was supposed to embed SirVic's video from above.

Sessel has a bottom bullwheel

[phatty]

I'm stoked for the new Sessel. I think it will keep a lot more lesson traffic now.

[snoqpass]

Still needs some grading done but it's still scheduled to open this season

More recent picture, the top lift shack for Sessel is in place

Haul rope was going up the other day for Sessel

I haven’t been paying much attention to the exact location of this. The summer pictures throw me off.

Is my blue line somewhat accurate to what we’ll be seeing this season? I’m actually kinda excited for this.

International lift and the Chair 2 upgrade to a 3pack are scheduled to be operational 24/25 season, i believe. The new Sessel should be operational this season though.

And i think the top station is supposed to be in that flat area kindof upslope of Snakedance gate and below/right of the widowmaker area.

Okay so I was in the general vicinity. Interesting

Yep, i believe so. It will be interesting to see in what order that lift opens on high avy days, and also interesting to see how, if at all, it will change the back bowls policy. The optomistic view is that it will spread the crowds out as there are now two entirely separate routes from the bottom to get to advanced terrain. But the international entrance squirell catcher is no longer in play for lots of people that will inevitably try their hand at egate who otherwise wouldnt.
