    It does seem like a fairly narrow capacity window. If they can only do one lift install near term, FGQ on the Hornet line or a new...

    Hypothetically, could they build a pulse lift instead of a HSQ for Hornet? I know it's supposed to be a compromise between line speed...

    Again, one of the reasons they do fine is because their own lifts are tolerable and not over a mile long... They are investing...

    The deal with HSQ and I know Newpylong knows this too, is the dramatically higher lift maintenance costs - they've got a chicken and egg...

    Plymouth State would provide some night skiing demand, but with current ticket prices, PSU students only pay $5, so not much revenue...

    6k+6k + 4k+4k linear feet x 75' width = ~34 acres or between 6 and 7 million gallons at 1' deep. 3k GPM is one acre-foot per hour...

    What's their current reservoir, about two million gallons? And it's likely to take all of that to get both routes down Eclipse solid, or...

    Glad to hear they've got a good snowmaking lead, and the general system layout seems reasonable. I didn't know any of the Tenney HKD...

    I know they went HKD last year - I assume the portable firepower would be shared between Eclipse and Hornet loops, but surely for ~two...

    The only thing wrong with this is it's not enough. Obviously there are issues any time you want to add thousands of people to a remote...

    Wisp and Wintergreen skiers are less thrilled with PGRI, but that might also be local management.

    That sounds impossible. There's only 1 resort talked about on these forums that has any major issues with lifts! :popcorn:

    I do think they'd be able to use more pumproom capacity in certain situations, but I also think they'd be better served by installing...
