Speaking of the black chair, it just failed inspection, so it might never run again (taken from the magic snow report)-
“The Black Chair had one part of its state inpsection fail yesterday after all systems working well for a number of days, so the lift crew will be back at work isolating the issue and getting it back for inspection as soon as possible.”
Surprised they are even trying at this point, only 2 months left before that ancient beast goes out the door. If they do get the green light to run it, I might try seeing if I can ride it before the end of the season! Would be the oldest chair I ever ride by over 10 years if I do get the chance.
