Hey guys, so I heard a rumor that seymour is getting new chairs in 2014. If this is true, this is great, great news. I like seymour and it has a great park, but the chairs are just too slow and are only 2 seaters. If you know anything about this rumour, please reply to this!!!

There have been rumors of this going around for a long time. I no longer work there so i can't confirm if it is actually true now, not to mention their PR department is a joke so you wont even know for sure until its actually a reality. They have scouted a new lift line from the bottom of lodge to the top of mystery, kind of following unicorn; however, realistically i hope it doesnt happen. There is not enough parking, facilities, or room on the runs to accommodate any increase in capacity. Not to mention the pow would get tracked out way faster. Slow chairs keep the tourists out.....locals only.

yea more/faster chairs isnt always better, it just means more people on the hill at once.

For information on blackcomb lift check out the WB proposed master plan to the provincial government..
http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/ftp/resort_development/external/!publish/web/resort_plans/proposed/Blackcomb/Fig_14a_Mountain_Master_Plan_at_Buildout_Blackcomb.pdf

You can see there are a number of phases including a quad on crystal as well as new lifts into ruby bowl and in the blackcomb glacier. Pretty wild!!

The master plan is out 25 years, none of those lifts are happening in the near future except Crystal. Crystal will be replaced with a quad. The bottom station will be below Glacier road where Cancer man ends (that run was cut for a lift) and the top terminal will be  where the current lift ends, not in the Grey Zone (due to wind).

The "new" Crystal chair will be Harmony, and Harmony will be replaced with a 6 pack.

The Whistler master plan has all sorts of dumb shit like a lift up Robertsons to Harmony ridge... they eventually want to build out a Cheakmus lake base area with chairs going up through Khyber.

The real problem is none of these chairs (other than Cheakamus base/Khyber) add new terrain, so shit will just get shredded even faster. 6 pack on Harmony for example, 50% more uphill capacity... although if you know where/how to ski I guess you just get your pow laps in faster and call it a day while gapers continue to flounder down the middle.
