This VonRoll triple came from Windham Mountain and replaced a Hall double in 2022.Loading area.The bottom terminal has a very long tension carriage.View leaving the bottom station.Tower 6 with night lighting and cat walks.Arriving at the drive station.Fixed drive up top.View down the line.Upper half of the lift line.Lower lift line.Tower 1 and the base terminal.
This must be a big improvement over the old #3 as the beginner lift. The old double had a tight slingshot load and could not slow down. A lot of beginners had trouble loading the old lift.
It is a big improvement. In addition to the points you mentioned, the old lift was narrow, problematic for Americans today who tend to be bigger than in the 60s when the lift was built.
Most of the lift is VonRoll which bought Hall’s factory and designs. That said these chairs came off of Chair 5, a Hall triple. The rest of this lift is the former F Lift at Windham. F Lift’s triples went to Chair 5 as they had foot rests.
Very loud terminals on this lift. However it’s extremely slow. It’s so cool it came from Wyndham where I ski sometimes. I’m pretty sure the chairs make creaking sounds. Where’s the rest of the lift now? BEGINNERS stay on this lift.
I am still confused on the safety bar situation decisions on this lift. Obviously F lift was long and they had a lot of chairs to work with, which were the silver galvanized Hall style chairs with the footrest safety bars. A bunch went onto 5 and were unmodified. But this lift received the remainder of the Vonroll chairs but with black safety bars without footrests. Those must have come from the original chairs on 5, but why? They already had the chairs from F with the footrests and did extra work to put the old non footrest safety bars on the chairs going onto the new 3. There must be some other reason why they would purposely do that, such as maybe footrests being less convenient for the beginners to use? Puzzling
