I didn't ski it often enough the past coupe of years when it was served by the low capacity double chair- did it get moguled up too badly? I do remember doing laps on it years ago when it was served by a surface lift and I didn't think it suffered , but maybe I was just there in snowy periods. I'm curious, do you know if the JHMR actually spends much time having a constructive dialog with its users to factor in their points of view when they plan their projects? Thanks for commenting!

I’m curious, do you know if the JHMR actually spends much time having a constructive dialog with its users to factor in their points of view when they plan their projects?

When the old tram was around, I never really rode it because the line was too long. So I was actually stoked when they put the little lift up the bowl. The new tram is great for those days when you want to quickly access the top to get out of bounds, but having a gondola directly to Thunder would be so much more awesome. Bottom line- the Jackon Hole marketing department is way out of line. They have created one stupid campaign after another- first overdoing the "old west" theme, then presenting the resort as "family friendly" and now making such a huge fuss over the tram. If JHMR didn't waste so much money on stupid projects (to name a few- 1. a $10million restaurant built in a slide path, 2. a chairlift to Casper restaurant that noone uses, 3. a new overpriced Tram), they might be able to pay their employees a decent wage and offer better deals to locals on season passes. Better stop here before I get too worked up. Totally agree with you, except for the fact that I don’t think more skier capacity on in Rendezvous Bowl would be a good thing.
