Have A Laugh: West Side Name Submission Funnies

It's a beautiful day here in Hunter!!

Though we have yet to choose a final name for our new lift, I did have an opportunity to giggle at the long long (long long long) list of submissions.

I know many of you are eagerly anticipating finding out the West Side quad's new name... in the meantime, here are some sillies that will (sad to say) probably not be winning:

East Coast Ice Glider
Catskill Creeper
Broadway Boogie Woogie
The Neil Diamond Skyway
(with attached comment, wah wah wah... so good so good)
The Wicked Witch (of the West)
Catskill Catapult
Empire State Elevator
The Mod Quad
Wide Load
The Back Side Ride

Stay tuned & thanks for your submissions! We'll be letting you know the final decision soon!

The West Side Project Has Begun!

As many of you know... we are installing a quad to service the West Side! The project is now underway! The chairs are off Y and Z lifts, and land clearing has begun for the new base terminal! Also, parts from the old quad have been fully rebuilt and re-galvanized! Check out the pics! Make sure to keep it locked here or on Facebook as the project continues!
