Is that double loading or is that me?

No, it is a midstation that allows for the two gondola sections to run independently or together.

Yea, but isn't one section from last summer and the other is this summer?

Has anyone been able to find any pics of the new Galaxy Express at Heavenly? Unlike last year when they were installing Olympic Express, Heavenly has not provided any information regarding the construction of Galaxy.

They took the contour from the mid station to the return of lower section.. now they are joining the mid station terminal together.

Lift 14 has about 17 towers with rock anchors again.. but they are flying concrete for 14 and the lower gondola towers next week.

I stopped by Sunday River a few days ago and got some pictures of the Chondola construction and Fall line being removed. Here are the removal pictures:

It is a Borvig and the towers were designed to allow another double to be added, but it never happened.

what do they make you guys do for erosion control (if anything)? They would go completely insane about that downstate.

I was hiking in the Killington area on labor day, and stopped and checked out the progress of the new HSQ. I couldn't believe how little progress is done by this time of year. They haven't even started on the bottom terminal, not sure if it's a top drive or bottom drive lift. Not even started excavating on the bottom terminal. Is that how slow Poma normally works? I didn't even bother taking pictures of it, Doppelmayr is slow on the chondala at Sunday River. They must have different crews then they do have out west.
