I drove through the base area and found that significant work has been done. Four modern lift terminals have been installed. The old Hall towers are being reused on the West Double. A metallic lodge has been built. SMI Polecat guns have been installed.

I walked around the base area of Crotched West. The Hall double chairs are rusting away and the main lodge is looking like its ready to start falling apart. Heavy growth on the old trails with the exception of some fields near the condominiums.
