Today I went to Mt. Bachelor and got a lot of pictures of the lifts and talked to a few lift mechanics when I was there. They are really nice people and they helped me out by answering some questions. I'll post pictures tomorrow of some of the lifts. I also recorded a video feed of the Sunshine Accelerator making this really annoying sound, although it wasn't as bad as it was in the morning.

Here is the link to the movie I made of the bullwheel making that weird sound.

nice looking day

[SkiBachelor]

Yep, it was a good day. Also when I was talking to a lift mechanic, I told him about this site and he said that he was already part of the Sisters Lift Techniction group or something like that. He said it's the 5 Powdr Corp resorts that help each other out with problems.

Cool, maybe he will join this one

[SkiBachelor]

He was friendly and told me who I should talk to, but he was like oh I'm already part of this group and didn't sound like he wanted to check the the site out, but he might. The general manger of Mt. Bachelor is going to check out this site I believe.

I have no clue what that blue object is next to the top terminal. I think it's there for just decoration but I'm not sure.

My guess would be a wind block.

[KZ]

probably, sugar bowl has that on the top of lincoln

[SkiBachelor]

Alright, I never thought of that. Although the wind blows from the south so that wind blocker serves no purpose since it's facing the north side.

i'll get a pic of the marmot dopplcake when i go later this year

[vancouverguy]

I don't think that thing is a wind block, it could be there to keep the snow from piling up, but I doubt it.
