        Why did they remove the bubbles? a fixed grip bubble quad sounds awesome!

        Fascinating history on this one and the original Spirit Express! Based on your pics, it appears the CTEC chair bales/seats were put back on this lift and reunited with the original hanger arms when the original Borvig/Leitner Spirit Express was replaced by the Leitner-Poma Spirit Express II. Is that correct? That would have happened after the aforementioned thread from skilifts.org.

    They have their own “timber twister” which is basically an automatic alpine slide on the other end of the ski area, so it must be for something else
