Is Showcase at WB not Doppelmayr anymore? I thought pretty much any WB project was guaranteed Doppelmayr due to Nippon cable’s part ownership of WB and their connection with Doppelmayr?

The contract hasn’t been publicly revealed yet, so “unknown” for now. I’d bet Doppelmayr also, but there are some other types scattered around. Franz (ex-Peak), Crystal (ex-Harmony) and WVG are all Pomas. Olympic and Magic are Yan holdovers.

Apparently, it’s Skytrac. That was not on my bingo card!

Will Sun Valley’s new Lookout Express be D-Line?

No, it appears as it and Christmas will have UNI-G terminals with direct drive.

That’s a little odd, since Challenger made sense for a D-Line due to how long and high of vertical it was. Seattle Ridge is half the length as Challenger, plus it serves its own terrain area so a UNI-G with Direct-Drive was a little more appropriate. Lookout, is 1,000 ft shorter both in terms of length and vertical, but is the only quick way to get to the summit without going all the way to the base and riding the Gondola/Christmas combo. I feel that Lookout should be D-Line because like with Challenger it services its own terrain pod while acting as a funnel to the other areas since I believe D-Lines aren’t made to just feel fancy but reliable (once the 1st-season kinks get resolved)

It could be tariff related, since more of the D-Line systems come from Europe. They may be opting for something which is cheaper and can be made in the US.

Has snowbasin postponed porcupine due to this winter being subpar? If so maybe I have more time to ride it still.

I am certainly interested regarding where the Borvig parts are coming from for Holiday Mountain’s planned triple. Per their Instagram page, it sounds like they are installing a brand new Partek drive terminal and using the old towers from Turkey Trot. Could it be that the Borvig parts are the leftover tower heads and chairs from McCauley Mountain’s big chair? The photos on this site show a few unused tower heads, but not tower tubes. Since McCauley reportedly acquired the lift for a good price, I would expect that the remaining parts would be quite affordable for a small area like Holiday Mountain. Very exciting to see Holiday Mountain making a comeback, hope they keep going with all their modernization efforts!

bringing this topic back up but I think the canyons gondola should really be more incorporated into this plan. If the HVT is set up as a BRT and HOPEFULLY actually has more routes into SLC, a gondola in the canyons would end up more as a integral part of this system. A gondola will fit more people comfortably and definitely be more ADA accessible. They should also consider even maybe doing something like what UDOT is studying in BCC where there is a transit hub at the top by Brighton with lockers and amenities. If you had a locker hub and restrooms located at the transit center it would be a lot more inciting to take the bus. Combine that with a new gondola which theoretically could run year round and I think it would really be a great idea.
