@toast21602and I speculated the same a few pages back, I think he even said he had heard that from somewhere. It makes sense, the crews are probably pretty specialized, like concrete, then construction for the power house and op shack, electrical, crew for the lift house, tower installers, rope installers. Probably different crews, so they can do one then head south for the other
Maybe, and this is pure speculation, since Blue and Camelback are the same company now they are using the same construction resources on both projects. I mean there can't be that many people on the East Coast that know how to install chair lifts right? Maybe the crew over in Tannersville will come over to Blue once they are done there and put in the more technical and higher visibility things.
i am putting on my optimistic face, and going with they are going to get this done in time. They pulled out main/burma, so really at that point they were really committed. Also it would be an epic fail that they wouldnt live down if this doesnt work out.
Is it possible it isnt ready for opening? Yeah, but its not like all of a sudden Allentown turns into the snow globe in November and would shut the work down. it just gets cold.
I never understood the lack of guardrails out west…the cottonwood canyon drives have no guardrails despite being curvy and at times icy. @toast21602 can attest to driving them in treacherous conditions
seriously. Camelbacks looks almost completed. At least blue’s it won’t take 5 years to install like Magic’s quad. (Hopefully)
Watch this year be crazy cold and everyone open for thanksgiving, and blue opens with just vista chair due to the new lift still not being done.
