We had originally planned to call the Bullet Express the Silver Bullet (all the Doppelmayr drawings say silver bullet)
but we changed back to Bullet: 1) we are a family area and did not want an alcohol connected with the lift, 2) we were involved with Labatts at the time and Coors is brewed by Molsons.

Some pictures from Jackson Hole.

Is it just me, or are the colors off in your pics, Skibachelor?

Great pics! Yes, they are modified, but look really good.

I just purchased the Canon SD850 IS and it has this cool feature called 'color accent' where basically you point that camera at a color and lock it into memory. Then when you take a picture, only that color is present while everything else is black and white. Of course there is a margin of error with the color so you just dont' have that exact hexidecimal color. I did manage to get a better color for the gondola cars by locking in the red color from the gondola's logo than from a passing cabin which was in the shade. There is also the color swape mode, which could allow me to make the colors look whatever color I wanted them to be. The SD850 IS also has a time lapse mode which is pretty cool. I used it today for the first time to make a video of Cabin 2 of the Jakcson Hole tramway coming off.

The camera is only $308 on Amazon.com now, and it's well worth the money. Just make sure you do a few test shots with it when you purchase it. The first one I got was actually defective and I had to return it. It also has a lot of cool shooting modes, one of them being in snow so the colors are more accurate and the lighthing. Of course I haven't tried that out yet, but the cloudy feature is awesome!

Wow, it gives a really good result, SkiBachelor!

What a job this guy has...

PCMR has one of those in the summer. They don't have a guy hanging from a tower though. It's on the ground in front of the midstation on Payday

That job would be fun for about the first hour(if that), then it would be misrable

The platter that used to live at Big White - the only proof I've ever seen that it existed!

So where did the platter end up?

It's in my boneyard, the avalanche bent up the drive framework a bit. The cliff chair is much more convenient anyway !

We've got a fault that reads "operator on the moon" if you do not let go of the start button (or if it sticks in)

I'm assuming the lift will go ahead and start up and run normally correct or not? As in Colorado You have to press in hold the start button for 2 secs until the lift turns.

Here in Greece You have to press and hold the start button for 7 secs before the lift begin to turn.

You have to hold this one for about 3 seconds, but it will stop the lift it sees the start signal maintained for more than about 15 seconds.

That's a pretty comical name for that fault!

I couldn't imagine having three hold down towers right outside my window!

where is that?

It's the gondola at Silver Mountain in Kellogg Idaho.
