Hey Wali - good to see your caps lock key or colourful language hasn't worn out yet.
Soooo.... your saying "Porters Expansion" is now obsolete??
Approval (even on the second go) is good as it sets a precedent for future development - one could consider the $10m (or more?) to date like those 'mega sales' where you pay an entrance fee to get to the special deals inside... it doesn't guarantee that you'll get a good deal when you actually go to buy something.
So being the man on the ground Wal, what’s the general feeling around the area with the locals?? Are they all excited about the prospect of new jobs and business opportunities?
They should be but the savvy / wise will not count their chickens until the Porters egg actually hatches.
Much like savvy investors will not allow sunk costs to overly influence their decision to throw another chunk of money into the project.
$175m is not a small amount as the on field and property development are tightly coupled so all their eggs are in one basket. Its risky and its not just about more lifts on more snow. The majority of concerns on this topic has been related to financial viability.
So Wal, fundamentally nothing has changed has it?

Ditto actually.
Wal - to give you an idea of where I am coming from, would you rather see something like this;
resulting from a unviable punt or the hills to be left until there is a more substansive local community to support and be supported by the "all year round alpine resort"?
Look at the Colorado 70's/80's history and see if you can see any linkages. Its all just about taking things with a pinch of salt and learning from history.
ps - Question to all: Patron days are expected to be 45% aussie, 19% 'out of area' and hence 36% local.... does that sound realistic?
porters has always had the second biggest market share in canty with the carpark overflowing on busy weekends. Many families choose hutt over poerters due to chairlifts and better learner facilities. this will obviously change that and compete with hutt for local market share but at the same time with hutt and porters so close together and offering quality facilities it may tap into the southern lakes tourist base. interesting to see what hutts next move will be

Well that sounds plenty good if the prices are right.
Is there a road between Lake Lydon (or the valley Porters is in?) & Lake Coleridge?
Lake Coleridge Resort anyone?
That sort of thing starts to sound better in my mind.
The whole 'on snow' thing can't be half hearted in my view - you've got to have ski in / ski out or dont bother.
there is a gravel road between lake lyndon and lake coleridge/rakaia gorge

Prices would have to match Hutt unless they were offering longer runs between lift rides like TC. The season at Porters is up to 2 months shorter than Hutt which
could be an issue and snow cover is not as good unless the new field will be going up to an altitude as high as Hutt. I must get a day there this season and have a look if possible at the area to be developed. I was disappointed in the "new terrain" opened up at Remarks last season as it was in an area of little cover so a watse of money in my opinion. I had hoped they would have dynamited the cliffs in the saddle which are at a higher altitude with more reliable cover.
K-nut is an anagram to avoid reprimand..
Q. why are you stupid people even debating this
.. MOVE ON!!
A. Lucky its a year round resort. Covered either way
A. Last year Crystal Valley was loaded even when Porters was sucked
A. The snow line was lower last year. I could ride to the long frame often, Good sign
A. No shi t they have snow guns nowadays,eg duh Coronet %100 Man Made Pure NZ Snow Guns all the way to top
A. The quality and style, eco, functionality will make other fields in NZ look amateurish ....
A. Given the options in Australia .. I don't think they'll be too concerned about the odd bad season by comparison.
A. The price will be the same as other commercial fields.. but you get to take your kit out and have a spa after wards.. Thats gotta suck!@!
A. finally.. GET A FAR-KIN LIFE .. TARDS

1.- are you familiar with snowmaking cass? pays to readup on the development before saying uninformed things.
2.this wont happen as the area is currently backcountry and involves walking a rocky ridgeline and dropping into some steep offpiste
3. you were crowing about this rockblasting for months despite all of us saying it would make no differnece.

yeeeaasssss..... and the response to the first application indicated that it would be approved once the water management (mainly waste water) issues were addressed. Have a look back over the thread if your memory is impaired.
I just think your bombastic, aggressive and fanatic attitude needs some balance. Such people never help the cause they say they are supporting - they do more harm.
And no, I'm not all there upstairs.... I am often subject to going on manic tiraids of abuse - sometimes typing one post immediately after another on internet forums.
I really should lay off the P
btw - air boarding... cool!
god after 13 pages it sounds like the same crap as the first page. All I know is come spring, Crystal looks a lot more inviting than Porters. That is where the snow is, build some infrastructure and lifts and you have something pretty good to offer. As long as Uli is still there, they will be alright

Well how come Porters snow making does not give it a season as long as Hutt now? Is the new area at a higher altitude do you know? I think the altitude will
be more important for the length of the season than snowmaking.
I do support the development but am just trying to look at the big picture.

Yeah, sorry - that guy just rubbs me up the wrong way.
So anyway, ignoring the property development part5 of it...
I haven't come across a map of the propose lift layout
does anyone have one they can share? (topo or even just something good enough to draw some lines on google earth?)
Ans as for cover in Crystal, does it have a better aspect and/or base than porters?
It sounds good, but none of the snow scientists/hydrologists I know that are familiar with the area (There have been quite a few scientific snow courses in the craigieburn range over the years) are terribly optimistic. Time will tell I guess.

Probably because that end of the craigieburn range benefits from different systems to the other hills. It would be interesting to look at the stats for how they compare over longer time periods, but the snow.co.nz stats don't go back far enough.
There's a difference between being negative and being realistic, I really would love to see it work out, it could be exactly the kick up the ass the industry here needs (although there are people that would debate that...), but it's a HELL of a lot of money to sink into what is, in NZ, a fickle business.

Topo map [topomap.co.nz] doesn't have the new lifts, but you get the idea.
Looking at that, the aspect is generally fairly similar to porters, with a bit more exposure to the S and more shelter from the N and NE.
Porters looks to be pretty well in the lee of the sw bp, might be the southerly, or even the se with a bit of local effect that transports the snow over to crystal?

Yeah but naaaa but yeah...
From ECan submission;
So ~1400m base looks OK but a learners / "snow play" area at ~930m would interesting...
But it all looks really cool when its all in place.

If you know about the resort you would know what is currently there is minimal snowmaking, they use external diesel generators just to get the system running, and i dont know if they still are, but last season they were donated to CHCH for a while.
snow made by snow making is a lot more dense than natural snow. powder snow (good powder snow) is usually 5% water and 95% air, thats why its so fluffy. man made snow is just frozen mist, its pretty much entirely water so it packs closer together, doesnt shrink as much as natural snow when it starts getting warmer. infact some resorts spend so much money making man made snow that they push it into sheds and cover it with tarps in the summer...
Two gondolas and a telemix seems excessive to me. why not just use the Quad on the lookers left for access back into the porters basin and then put in a 6 man in the porters basin with return trails back to the gondola in crystal? Seems an awful lot of money to spend!
Hey atleast there might be 3 t bars going cheap soon guys
the second gondola is never mentioned in porters discussion plans but appears on the trail map. id be happy if they left the 3 ts as is and developed crystal with a short hike up the ridge to return. would make the current porters terrain become deserted

in the Mt Hutt car park. It was not a major break and I needed no
metal inserts. I did have a fibre glass cast on for six weeks and during
that time noticed the strength come back to my hand. I did have 3 weeks
of physio which was not majorly painfull. After about 3 weeks I did start to
drive an automatic car but only around town. I think I went back on the bike
after 8 weeks and progressed to a push bike first. You would certainly not
want to get on a motorbike too soon as your lack of responsiveness could
prove deadly.

IMO the main kicker to Porters season as it is now is the aspect. By early September it gets too much sun and unless there is continued natural snowfall, the park and main run are melting fast. Combine that with webcam pics that show it looking pretty damn unhealthy in the sunny area - it turns off potential punters, even though there may well be plenty of cover at T2 and T3.

downsouth raises a good point though walts and scaring away potential customers isnt a great business model. its not doing porters any favours. crystal does tend to hold its snow better than main basin so could be problem solved

You seem confused. I'm a fan of Porters and look forward to the development. I was just replying to the query on why Porters season tends to end earlier than Hutts. Go shout at someone else.
I HAVE TO SHOUT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE SEASON IS CRYSTAL VALLEY IS AS LONG AS ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL INCLUDING HUT AS IT HOLDS MORE SNOW THAN PORTERS
THATS WHY THEY BROUGHT IT AND THATS WHY..THERE DEVELOPING IT.

Maaatteee... If you are anyway involved with Porters, Blackfish (or whatever now), consultants or potential 'hired help' of any kind someone needs to give you need a swift kick up the arse because as BP said - PR ain't your forte.
Why can you not discuss like all others?
So here's your chance...
Was the Porters gondola/chair always on the books as a phase 2 improvement or have the plans been wound back now?

But looking at the shading model from the ECan application (I think these were prepared by professionals right Walt? Based on sun angles @ 3pm) most of the return trail would be high and/or heavily shaded in the afternoon most of the season which sort of points towards your comments Driazuh about resorts spending lots of $ being pumped into making lots of snow to keep pushing around down to ~930m.
Is that the thinking Walt?

There's actually a very technical science to it..
The men with the little hard hats come along and build the village in stages.
Then when it opens in 2015 Winter, you hop in your car drive just to the base village. Hop in the gondola and snowboard back down. Repeat
Then drive home at the end of the day. Or stay in the budget motel once completed.

basically the same price as a day pass with only one lift and 1/4 of the terrain. better value how?

No/few lift ques after 4pm and at Coronet it does not get dark untill 6.30 from late Aug so plenty of terrain . Perhaps we will have to wait and see how many lifts if any they open for night skiing.
