After meeting with the general manager Mike Maughan I’ve been informed that Nina’s and Schuss will still be merged.
Issues with congestion and saftey have pushed them to make the change as well as to accommodate the increasing number of intermediate skiers at alta.
Alternatives such as bringing back the 180 bend or grooming the lower section of high boy were said to be unsafe.
I was also informed that this project was proposed around 2 years ago. While I did not hear anything about it then Mike Maughan said that they will try to make projects and changes more known before progressing past early stages.
I am very sorry to see that this is the last season for these two runs as they are now. Thank you so much for all the support despite the outcome. And for Nina’s and Schuss, ski it while you can!!!
If you still feel the need to voice your opinion or more preferably suggest an alternative you can contact alta through email at https://www.alta.com/contact
Thanks again for all the support!!
