While we are all ski dreaming, I was inspired by this question on FBs "Ski the Northeast"
What’s your favorite unrealistic ski expansion that will never happen?
I was wondering what is the same answers some might have for the Mid Atlantic?
Some of the ones I can think of would be:
Which of those would you have wanted to see the most, or are there others that have been pitched over the years that you would have been excited to see no matter how unrealistic?
Buncher expansion (done right) would be the most useful to me since that's where I do most of my skiing...
But if we're going to pipe dream it, the most interesting to me would be cutting new slopes at Laurel and including downhill bike runs in that expansion and putting a brewery in the lodge and being open year round. <puts pipe down>
This perhaps isn't expansion dreams, but wish list:
* more snowmaking at Laurel for sure - great terrain sits unused much of the season!
* the slopes cut above the ol' tubing area at HV are already overgrown. They need to delete the tubing area, cut the slopes again, and throw in a triple down there. (I get that it's a long shot, but that is what should be done) - HV is crowded with beginners and large families. That's a good thing for the sport and in general, but expansion onto 31 would spread things out and allow intermediates to make use of the more challenging terrain that's already there on the edge.
* 7Springs - better grooming.
