I know that this has been confirmed by someone here, but this is the first mention I have seen of it outside of the resort. Don't know how I missed it on Sunday.

The new high-speed 6-Pack will make 7-S even more of a power player in the mid-Atlantic ski scene. And, it's much needed as the lifts on the back side of 7-S are painfully slow. The only other thing that 7-S needs is about 300 feet more vertical; of course, that will never happen as 7-S has probably maxed-out all of the available vertical.

Good for 7S. I've been debating visiting 7S for years, and this might prompt me to go ahead and make the trip! We should reward resorts who invest in infrastructure that will make our experience more worthwhile...

Now someone explain to me why Snowshoe hasn't followed suit with a lift like Ballhooter, that routinely experiences 45 minute waits on weekend afternoons? I asked a ski patrol about the possibility of expanding to a six-pack, and he said it wasn't needed. This after spending 30 minutes in line. I'm sure "HE" thinks it's not needed because he has probably never actually waited in the line...
