New Trail Through Tahawas?

Talk on the Gore Forum indicates that the trail shown above, connecting the top of the Burnt Ridge Quad, with the bottom of the North Chair, may go ahead this year to allow ski racing on Echo.  In the current layout, skiing on Echo would prohibit a lift-served return to the base for skiers on Burnt Ridge. The way it's drawn below it would impact the bottom of the Tahawas trees. What do you think?  (See poll below.)

My two cents:  If they keep it up high on the side of BR then maybe the impact on Tahawas would be minimal.  Could also lead to some cool options for avoiding some of the flats on Pipeline and more tree skiing on the north side of  the ridge.
