I would have to assume this has a lot of plans and permitting in the works. I seem to recall they got a little heat from some type of government agency over the digging of one of the snowmaking ponds. Like i think they just all of a sudden decided to dig one out of the blue, maybe cause they were bored.
I wouldnt want to put up a device made to carry 1,000's of people in the air on my property without permits or inspections, no matter who actually hold the contract for it.
