That's truly amazing all right. I've seen rope tows with a higher capacity...

It's a classic 1970 Mueller CP Double that's all almost all original equipment, except the new drive pulley - that slowed it down. With the old faster pulley, the chairs would come out sideways if the friction block was worn out/missing. Most out-of-towners are scared of it.

Too bad they slowed it down. How fast did it run before?

A little faster than 2.8 m/s - which isn't too fast, but 2.8 is the max speed allowable.

Iceberg, go to canada.nw-skilifts.com, click on British Columbia in the resort gallery and select Red Mtn. Then click Red and you should be good to go. Sorry I don't have a link to it since I have dial up and I'm uploading the Mammoth pictures.

I know this isn't the thread for it, but SkiBachelor - you can remove the T-Bar from the removed lifts list, and put it back into the current lifts ;) It got a reprieve this summer!

On canada.nw-skilifts.com it says that the Red has been removed is this correct?
