No lifts are being replaced, it will be an addition. The Silverlode triple was replaced in 2007 with the lift I pictured above. It's just our first time doing the load tests since the Doppelmayr crew did the tests last time!

I took my family up there this summer and we asked about it but nobody had a picture, that is really cool.

I think it's interesting how for the Centennial Express lift, they put EpicMix readers at both the loading area for the cabins and the loading area for the chairs, at the bottom of the lift in both cases (this in contrast to a number of gondolas like Canyons' (future west PCMR) Red Pine Gondola and Gondola One at Vail where the EpicMix reader is at the top of the lift).

That's because the chondola unloads at two different points, while the other two load at two different points to make the maze more efficient but both unload at the same point.

Think it's a little premature to call the Red Pine Gondola part of PCMR. Vail didn't have time to install any of the EpicMix stuff at PCMR for this season. The Canyons has all of it. They still give out day passes at PCMR on Canyons-logo tickets.

Side note, saw how remote the interconnect gondola unload spot is yesterday. They will need to blow some serious snow over there next year. It's been in the 60s all week and half the mountain is grass until you get back to Tombstone
