According to one of the comments, it appears it did not run a single day in 17-18. I believe the Summit Triple replacement is going to be done in 2019 so this lift especially wouldn’t have been needed then.
It would be a high speed quad or 6 pack. The triple is among the longest fixed trips that is a primary lift and it realistically has over a 15 minute ride. Top Notch had a capacity of 950/hr and the Summit Triple has a capacity of 1500/hr, so they’d need a capacity of at least 2450/hr on a new lift. I assume they’d go to at least 2600/hr.
They announced replacing the double-double with a fixed-grip quad for 2022 a while back, but interesting that now they’re also planning to replace Summit with a HS4 or 6 this summer as well. Seems like a last-minute addition to the summer plan.

It was also removed in 1998, as it was directly replaced with the Flying Yankee chair.

They’re only doing the quad this summer. The Summit replacement may happen eventually but not this year.
