they use to have a food shack there called cobra dogs. It has not run in years since the vail acquisition. I believe that they have now been removed. I believe that the gondola cabins were used as seating.
Under Powdr ownership, each tower had a mural of a Park City snowboarder or freestyle skier. Those were painted over gray when Vail took over in 2015. This is mostly used as a terrain park lift now – the previous SLI double started lower (closer to First Time and right next to Eagle) and was more of a beginner lift. The original one showed up on the map as “Three Kings” and is now listed as “3 Kings” on the map – maybe because it’s a triple?
I believe this is a uni-star model, and the tri-star is the uni-star with the three legs. Big Easy at Northstar has this terminal too, albeit that lift is bottom drive.

I do believe this is a triple and not a quad that is marked on the spreadsheet

In Picture 1, there looks to be Gondola Cabins to the right of the bottom station. Does anybody know why they are there?

is the top terminal a top drive version of the tri-star? And are there any other lifts with this kind of terminal?

The loading carpet makes it so the Lift Operators dont have to bump the chair. Pretty cool.

And a lift with a loading carpet can run faster, such as Peak Triple at Pat’s Peak.
