That is a very interesting lift. Do you guys have any more info on it.

My guess is that they built it like that to have it start at the bottom of Pipe Dream, have a mid station on Bear Trax and end near the top of Killington Peak. (the mid station was never built) This would require a turn in the lift, but you can't turn the whole thing so it splits up.

I thought it had something to do with wind.

I forget who said this but I believe someone said on another post that it was just that the owner of Killington saw a lift like this and wanted to have one at Killington.
