My guess? The one with the brown paint. Notice the grey painted one has Poma's logo and the brown one doesn't. How many resorts would actually paint a manufacturers logo on the lift after it didn't have one?

That's too bad, I think that although the grey is kind- of bland, the brow is hideous.

It just looks really dirty, that's all.

I thought the gray was pretty ugly when I was there because the entire village is painted brown and the lift never fit in all that well. However, I think the brown on the lift now does an excelent job of making it fit into the village a lot better. I don't think that there are any other colors could make the lift fit in better unless it was a lighter brown.

I actually kind of like that brown. While the grey looks ok it just looks a bit cheap to me. It seems so ordinary and doesn't really give the lift any character. Would a red have looked all right Cameron?

Not bright red, but maybe a dark red would have, like the birds of prey lift at BC.

The brown is the newer one and fits in well with the paint on Eagle's Nest and Teewinot (sp?). I think the brown looks better just because it fits in well although Apres Vous is painted in gray at least on the top if I remember right so I'm not sure why exactly they are painted different colours.

Only the base terminals of the lifts that are in the village are painted brown, not the top stations. Bridger's top station is still gray, along with Teewinot and Apres Vous' terminals.

I like the brown on the Challenger much better than the gray... the gray works great on the Omega though

I think it would have looked have left the terminal supports gray like they were before, but other than that, not bad
