It seems kind of weird that this lift is an up and over lift since one of these hasn't been built for a few decades here in North America with a mid unload station.

Willamette Pass also has plans to build an up and over lift which would be a complete waste since it has a triple chair probably sitting in storage which it would install instead.

Interesting new lift. That ski through tunnel looks a little small though...

I had to double-check- those towers are yellow, right?
As far as up-and-overs go- there aren't too many mountains with that type of topography; that's why there haven't been any for a while.

If i'm not mistaken Mt washington has an older doppelmayr as well with yellow towers.

Are you referring to the Dopp CTEC HSS called the Hawk?

Yea are they planning on driving a cat through there?

[edmontonguy]

no there is an older doppelmayr triple from the 80's which has vibrant yellow towers. also i think one of their lifts is also red.

The Red chair was a Mueller triple. It was removed when the HSS Hawk was instlled. The Dopp. triple with the yellow towers is still there and is run on weekends and/or busy days.
