Keystone's logo on the cabin is very cool. I like the vertical positioning.

I think it might give you a stiff neck while your standing in line!

Yes, it will be open and it always seems like it won't but they manage to get it done every time. People were saying the same thing about Northway last year.

Snow to you means "Let's go skiing!"
Snow to an Installation Crew means "Sh*t, we've got to work faster!"

Wow. Those pics of the P2P are amazing! Do you know if there are any high-resolution pics of that lift? I want one as my desktop background. :)

I'm not exactly afraid of heights but these go to the extreme. I've had to inspect portable asphalt and concrete plants while their running, and when on top of the silos its really wobbly (no foundations makes for a fun ride) which I can handle just fine, however, I couldn't stand on some makeshift platform on top of a gondola like that.

I agree with the above posts. Working on lift towers doesn't bother me at all, but that would. It's mind boggling to think that those guys are working in an environment out on the line that's only 45 ft (13.7 meters) lower than the overall height of the Empire State Building to the top of the spire.

PCMR terminal skin is up. Now it looks like a lift on the little webcam image

Buck Hill is moving right along with the new carpet. They claim on their site that it is "The longest Magic Carpet in the USA." I'm not sure how true that is.
