You guys are talking about two different lifts. Cold Springs from from Bald Mountain is going to Dodge Ridge. East Broadway from Squaw, which went to Soldier Mountain but was never installed, is now headed to Mt. Baldy, CA.

I could have sworn that cold springs was going to mt baldy, also what is the point of replacing a riblet double with another slightly modified riblet double?

From looking at recent infrared satellite mapping, it appears that the fire on Mt. Lemmon has encroached on the western side of the Mt. Lemmon Ski Valley. It is unclear if the lift and base lodge have been damaged, or if only vegetation was burned.

Is the 12 person cabins just 10 person cabin with room for 2 people to stand? Does it have modifed/different grips to account for the extra weight? Sorry, twitter doesn’t load for me.

I have been wondering that too. The village gondola at mammoth can theoretically can hold 15 people. But there is only 12 seats so 3 have to be standing. I’m guessing on some it’s like that and some its not.
