Big Blue is one of two neighboring next-generation LPA six-packs from Leitner-Poma.Bottom terminal and first pitch.Drive station.Tower 2 with combo assemblies.Riding up under the Funitel.View back down the line.Nearing the summit.Top station arrival.Side view of the return terminal.Upper part of the lift from above.Top station with one panel missing.Lift line under bluebird skies.Middle part of the lift line.Lower terminal seen from above.
It’s because they are too scared of beginners getting injured. I have seen so many of them fall off of the lift. They definitely run their lifts fast sometimes, I remember the old Siberia running at top speed once and they tend to run Squaw One very fast. It’s funny that the lifts that I remember them running the fastest are also some of the oldest express lifts.
Does Anyone know what these terminals are called?
