Awesome pictures! Great dedication to getting pics even on the second day the lift was open. It was a pleasure meeting you today and good luck on future trips
The profile reminds me of Molly Hogan at near by Arapahoe basin, but with a longer line. Both are Alphas with z returns and top tension and drive. Nice pics!

But, on the bright side, we’re getting respectable amounts of snow now. (At least in Colorado, I don’t know about Utah)

Peter, is Poma sourcing their chairs from Thailand a new development? I thought all their chairs came from the Telfs factory in Austria.

Not a new development and just this style chair. All detachable chairs come out of Telfs. I believe Doppelmayr sources EJ chairs in Thailand as well.

Why loveland loads this as a triple?

Easier for beginners to load a triple rather than a quad.

It gives beginners more space to load and unload the lift.

This reminds me of Ruthie’s at Aspen. They used to load triple chairs as double chairs.
