    This lift and morning star received new electric motors this year.

    No. It is a backup lift that only operates on peak days.

      It will usually run when race training is happening on Wardance trail to skiers right of this lift), which is common on both weekdays and weekends.

    Definitely another quiet lift not really accessing too much terrain. I don’t really ride it that much. Any reason as to the name?

      Replaced the “Black” Poma lift which ran in the identical lift line.
