'tis real. That whole project is in an environmentally sensitive area, and this was done to minimise impact. All the construction was done either by tracked vehicles or helicopters. No roads were built. I imagine it'll make summer maintenance interesting.

I have a quick question about White Pass. I believe that there was an actual topic specifically about the expansion, so I'm sorry for posting my question here rather than there, but if I remember correctly, that topic is pretty far back in the lists.

Anyway, here's my question: which lift is which? I know that there's a new fixed quad (Basin) and a new detachable quad (Goat Rocks Express), but which is which on the map?

Here's the draft of the map from their website:

I was up there today! Here is the Basin chair, fixed quad, the left one on the map.

And the Couloir Express detachable quad, the longer one on the right of the map.

Very impressive over the snow installation.

Thanks for helping me out. The pictures are great. By the way, I thought that they discontinued that version of the Orion. Maybe that was only for the Sprint terminal. Or maybe Doppelmayr CTEC offers both versions.

Never mind, I looked through the Doppelmayr 2009 Worldbook and the only lift that they showed the bottom and top stations of was the Lookout Mountain Triple at Whiteface, which used a UNI-Star drive/tension terminal and the same version of the Orion terminal.

Do you think a person could fit under there.

I wonder why no one has posted pics of BM Express yet?

Funny you should ask, Jeff.
I was up there yesterday and shot these pics.

It was taken from A-basin's webcam and used by Leitner-Poma... ;) Just felt I should say Leitner-Poma because I got it off their site.

It's all good. :)

Went for a nice hike yesterday at Vail. Great day with plenty of Photos. Looks like chair 5 is coming along rather nicely. I do feel that they're a tad behind schedule, but I'm sure once they get the towers in and the terminals installed, it will all go quickly.
