Expand I think they are moving along ok, maybe not setting the world on fire but seeing some really big holes in the ground is a very good thing. But of course, those holes are probably the easiest ones to dig and access. I think the big thing for making this all work, is when the concrete for the towers goes in the ground. I am pretty sure there will need to be significant cure time on the concrete before they can set towers on them. Like maybe a month or so. Keep in mind, since the main street and burma lifts are gone, and those chairs all sold off, not completing this on time will be the mother of all fuck ups. 2 Quote

Schif Posted June 25, 2022 Report Posted June 25, 2022 I think we will see concrete this week. It's a decent sized risk to open up those holes and let them get rained on. I would love to see the forms being built. 1 Quote

theprogram4 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Posted June 28, 2022 I literally checked the cams yesterday and was happy to see it still there. The end of an era 😢 1 Quote
Benm Posted July 3, 2022 Report Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Hole looks bigger than before. There is a concrete square in there but might be for a pole rather than the terminal. No poles or anything but they could be up top. Ton of Spartan race stuff sitting in the lot tho Edited July 3, 2022 by Benm 3 1 Quote

enjoralas Posted July 26, 2022 Report Posted July 26, 2022 Some digging on the left side of the Main St cam. Can't see much but a pile of dirt and the occasional hoe bucket, but maybe some footers coming soon. 2 1 Quote

AtomicSkier Posted July 27, 2022 Report Posted July 27, 2022 i would've liked to see all the prep work done by now and left the last 4 months for installation. the lack of footings is questionable. maybe we'll just ski off the vista chair for the first month of the season! @GrilledSteezeSandwich vista talk. 1 1 1 2 1 Quote
