I’m confused with the status of Mt. Waterman. Is Lift 1 damaged or did it get repaired? The sale listing states all 3 lifts are inspected and ready to go. The highway however isn’t due to open til next year per another news story. So how did it get repaired and the landslide cleared? For an area that rarely operates I’m surprised they’d have the funds to clean up that mess and repair the chairlift. Anyone have details?

Maybe I’m being too european, but the concept of a private lift seems strange to me.
So only certain people that live in an area can use that lift?
Aren’t lifts in residential areas self selecting from the get-go? Surely mostly people living there will be using them, what’s the point with excluding everyone from using them?
