The patrol shack was one of the off season Improvements last summer. I'm not sure if the whole building was replaced or just a new, steeper pitched roof. The bottom part looks the same. The green chair didn't have a mid-station by the time I started going there in the late 80's. Before the Green Mountain Freezer went in, access to Ullr's, JFK, etc was only accessed from the tram or from the top of the Bonaventure (red) chair with an uphill hike. That used to be a good place to go when the tram was on wind hold and before the Freezer. In fact, it's probably still a good plan because the Freezer is probably on wind hold then also. Ride the Bonny and hike a little. For some people, that would've made the tram a "necessity"
As far as a lot of the expansions going on, I believe that most of that money is from offshore. They may be able to sell a wave pool or hockey rink easier than blue square expansion. I'll give them credit for trying hard. Hopefully, all this stuff pans out for them and they can put some more bucks into the mountain. I'm not sure how their snowmaking capacity is but there are a few places that are always chronically bare.
