It was certified last season because I used it once on a busy day.


I have some questions on this phenomenon

1. did you get any pics as I have never seen this lift run and I am skeptical?
2. Did anyone else ride it?

ya think I would lie :huh: my dad was skiing with me and and yes it was open for public since I don't woke for the skico. No I didn't take any pictures that day. It only opened a handfull of days last sesason I think th 12min ride has somthing to do with it. BTW the only reason I think it opend that day was because Springs was having issues.

Here are the towers all layed out for Snowbird's Peruvian Express. It is going to be a huge lift, I count 27 towers down there. It has a 2600 foot vertical rise.

The new(used) triple going in at Beaver Mountain, UT. Anyone know where it is from? It looks like a Yan maybe?

Mt. Bachelor has hardly touched the Pine Marten Express. I would have thought all the carriers would be off the the terminals slowly being taken apart. However, maybe the new lift hasn't arrived yet since it's going to be a UNI-G I believe and is coming from Europe.

it all depends on what time they signed the papers too...but I would also think they'd at least have carriers off line...even if they're not Doppelmayr's first priority, they should be gearing to get that lift out. Perhaps they outsourced all of the demo so they're not touching it

The terminal's skin will come from Europe, the terminals themselves are made in St. Jerome its just that D-Ctec will complete the production run of GS's before resetting the jigs to build any G's.

Are all the detachables built in St. Jerome? Are all the fixed grips from Salt Lake?

They want you to see people getting off the lift and walking into Royal Street Cafe...not a bunch of pirates busting their butts building a ski lift :devil:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought PM was going to be a rebuild and not a replacement. New machinery and electronics under the existing skin and all that.
