So how does a resort simply turn a blue trail into a green trail? More bulldozer work, or more marketing spin? Considering the trickiness of the Timberline lift and the potentially nasty weather up that high, I have to question their judgment here. I don't know which is worse--luring beginners higher just to pump up green-vertical, or actually busting out some dynamite to actually make the trail greener. I suppose it's a less ice-prone trail than Tote Road. What will they do about the current use of Timberline by the warp-speed cruiser crowd? -Matt http://www.angio.net/~reagan/ ------- Forwarded Message From: Sugarloaf [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, July 27, 2001 10:53 AM Subject: Sugarloaf Newsletter New for next winter! Get out the chainsaws! Looking for that easiest way down isn't always a bad idea when you find yourself on top of Maine's biggest ski mountain. Based on feedback from Sugarloafers and following a slope evaluation, Timberline has been reclassified from Blue Square to Green Circle and a new trail will start from Upper Scoot to Horseshoe. The change in Timberline's classification and the addition of a new trail means summit access to novice levels and above, as well as continuos Green Circle terrain from the summit to the base. We'll be sure to update you with the progress once the cutting begins. ------- End of Forwarded Message - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
