is Searchmont going to replace a 4CLF with another 4CLF or are they going to go down the detachable route?

Such a shame what has happened to INDY after Entabeni took over. They still have not gotten the 10$ physical card direct to lift, their software is atrociously outdated and feature poor. Now they are bulling and abusing the town of the one resort they for some reason operate. Very Vail Resort Vibes. They should go back to running the pass which they do poorly and stop this macho hero act.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who notices this. Indy has this cult vibe where it’s bad to criticise them, but I have not seen anything good from them in the last 3-4 years. The Entabeni RFID stuff is really unfriendly for the skier, too, also. I guess we should be careful, though. They may claim this here comment section is bad for their brand in their lawsuit.

Why does Skytrac not use LPA carriers? Economies of scale. To be honest, not a fan of its design.

Skytrac uses the same carries on doubles, triples and quads. I agree they look really funny on quads.

Lift X was supposed to be a lift that started by the bottom of Empire and terminate somewhere at the top of The X-files trees, hence where that name came from.

interesting. A lift there would have ruined the vibe on that side of Empire.

that looks like it would almost be a beginner, intermediate and expert lift
