Oh so since I was born in 1961 I would have the ability to get shocked by a 1960 lift with out the grandfather clauses... not to be confused with the north pole claus's.

"Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish—a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow—to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested . . . Res ipsa loquitur (it speaks for it self). Let the good times roll." HT

Well, for one thing, by the time gondolas actually caught on in the US and major resorts had the money to put behind them, Bell made larger, faster ones; by the early '80s, Doppelmayr made larger, faster ones yet. The 101 really isn't practical, considering the low capacity, lack of automation, and gravity grip.

i feel alot safer on a box grip vr 101 compaired to the newer detachables.
Then you would be sadly out of touch with modern technology and not in the least understand anything about those of us who maintain them. I for one feel rather slighted !
Was that polite enough ?

Back on topic...
As I understand it, power for night lighting can be run up individual towers but not between them. Or is that another one of those grandfathered things? Many ski areas have lights on towers, but they've all had them for many years.
