To quote your May 11 comment in the new lifts section:

"Oh we do, but I'll have to wait for the official release.. sorry :)" Allan you never did actually tell us which lift was being replaced at Red Mountainm so now that you have posted a picture, please tell us the name of the lift that was replaced and the stats of the new one. thanks.

okay so I figured it out. the lift being replace at Red Mountain is the old Silverlode Triple

No lifts are being replaced, it will be an addition. The Silverlode triple was replaced in 2007 with the lift I pictured above. It's just our first time doing the load tests since the Doppelmayr crew did the tests last time!

Any idea when the announcement would take place.

I took my family up there this summer and we asked about it but nobody had a picture, that is really cool.

Red Chair, opening day December 1948. Lift was installed in 1947.

Looking on one of our sister forums I came across this interesting bi-cable T-bar, enjoy this translated version of the report

Top and bottom of Beaver Creek's new chair 6, plus a nice renovation of chair 5's motor room.

Ooh that's nice.

I think it's interesting how for the Centennial Express lift, they put EpicMix readers at both the loading area for the cabins and the loading area for the chairs, at the bottom of the lift in both cases (this in contrast to a number of gondolas like Canyons' (future west PCMR) Red Pine Gondola and Gondola One at Vail where the EpicMix reader is at the top of the lift).

That's because the chondola unloads at two different points, while the other two load at two different points to make the maze more efficient but both unload at the same point.

Think it's a little premature to call the Red Pine Gondola part of PCMR. Vail didn't have time to install any of the EpicMix stuff at PCMR for this season. The Canyons has all of it. They still give out day passes at PCMR on Canyons-logo tickets.

Side note, saw how remote the interconnect gondola unload spot is yesterday. They will need to blow some serious snow over there next year. It's been in the 60s all week and half the mountain is grass until you get back to Tombstone
