While we are all ski dreaming, I was inspired by this question on FBs "Ski the Northeast"

What’s your favorite unrealistic ski expansion that will never happen?

I was wondering what is the same answers some might have for the Mid Atlantic?

Some of the ones I can think of would be:

  • Western Expansion at Seven Springs
  • Bunchers slopes down to Rt 30
  • Expansion of Blue Knob to skiers right of Stembogan
  • "back side" of Whitetail
  • Hawthorne slopes at Snowshoe

Which of those would you have wanted to see the most, or are there others that have been pitched over the years that you would have been excited to see no matter how unrealistic?

Buncher expansion (done right) would be the most useful to me since that's where I do most of my skiing...

But if we're going to pipe dream it, the most interesting to me would be cutting new slopes at Laurel and including downhill bike runs in that expansion and putting a brewery in the lodge and being open year round.  <puts pipe down>

Hawthorne at Snowshoe would be most obvious there, but also a run from the top of Silver Creek down to the bottom of Western Territory (yeah, some of this would probably be in the sun and they'd have to go over or under the road), followed by a lift from the bottom of the Western Territory back up to the top of Silver Creek. And a blue run to the skier's right of Cupp so people can utilize that way over to Silver Creek.
