It would be a moderate capacity (I ,600 pph) detachable, high-speed quad-type lift and would be approximately 1,000 feet longer than in Alternative B (Le., 5,000 feet long) with a vertical rise of about 1,525 feet (Table 2.3). The lift would be driven from the upper terminal and power would be supplied through an existing underground cable to the upper terminal of the former Nugget Lift. I The skiable area and terrain capacity associated with the new Thunderbowl Lift would be the same under Alternative C as under Alternative B (i.e., 96 acres and 962 skiers, respectively). Similarly, the access and egress areas for the longer, realigned Thunderbowl Lift would be at the base area. The lift would serve intermediate and advanced skiing terrain including some mid-Mountain ski trails, such as Susy-Q, Nugget, and Shred It (former Nugget Lift line). The elongated ski lift would increase the length of slopes usable for racing and it would be used for teaching, racing, special events, and repeat skiing. II would also increase access to the lower terminal of Exhibition II. S1tEPLECHASE AID HIGHLAND BOWl The alignments and technical specifications of the Steeplechase and Highland Bowl lifts in Alternative C are identical to those described under Alternative B. However, due to anticipated change in skier dynamics with the introduction of the Highland Surface and Ridge Surface lifts, the area serviced by the Steeplechase and Highlands lifts under Alternative C and the corresponding terrain capacities would be slightly less relative to Alternative B. Under Alternative C. the skiable area and terrain capacity associated with the Steeplechase Lift would be 190 acres and 1,907 skiers, respectively. and those associated with Highlands Lift would be 123 acres and 1,155 skiers. respectively. ' HIGHWD SURFACE The Highland Surface Lift would extend from about 120 feet west of the top terminal of the Highland Bowl Lift to about 150 feet east of Highland Peak (Figure 2.4). It would be a surface lift, about 1.000 feet in length, a vertical rise of about 300 feet, and ,a carrying capacity of about 500 pph. The lift would be powered from the terminal base with power being supplied from the base of Highland Bowl Lift through an underground utility trench. The skiable area and terrain capacity of the Highland Surface Lift would be 30 acres and 238 skiers, respectively. RIDGE SURFACE The Ridge Surface Lift in Alternative C would extend along the ridgeline between Loge Peak and Highland Peak with the lower terminal being about 850 feet to the south and 400 feel to the east of Loge Peak and the top terminal about 2,600 feet due nonb of Loge Peak (Figure 2.4). The lift would be a surface lift, about 1,800 feet Allenzalive C - Preferred A/lernalille Lifts CJJ1.d AS30ciaJed T t:"oin 2-13
