If they are stating 2009/10 then to me given personal experiance on completion dates it could easily be the season after that... 2010/11.
Either way until there is a press release announcing this then as much as we all want it to happen its unreliable info.
Also if it has been given the nod then there is no need to keep it quiet.

In reply to Snowy Norman, the guys name is Mitko (surname unknown to me), his english though not perfect was easily understood. He overlooked my indescretion of using someone elses season pass, i had commented on the actual price of lift passes and this had prompted him to relay said information regarding planned investment. I wonder if he was just trying to impress me, i mean he had let me off the pass (could have been banned from the mountain for two days supposably) perhaps he was lonely ...

Mitko's are everywhere in BG -very common name.
everybody believes anything and can say whatever he/she wants about new gondola, new lifts,new ski runs ,new ski resorts, new airports, new ports etc.
We've always been told that that area is a major avalanche area, the reason the lifts have been closed for so long on that side of the ski area. It won't just be a matter of building a new gondola , but also the mountain will have to be reconstructed in 'avalanche' shelves, which would contain any major snow fall/avalanche. This came from the guy who was in charge of installing the current gondola.
