    This lift accomplished several objectives.

    1. It is expected nowadays to have at least one detachable serving green trails. Previously, Hunter did not have one.
    2. It provides a second detachable option at the main base, and a serviceable backup to the main Kaatskill Flyer lift.
    3. It provides direct, high speed lift access to the terrain parks.
    4. The new lift eliminates the unusually long off-ramp that the fixed grip quad had.
    5. The new alignment keeps lift towers out of Kennedy Drive, the main route to the base.

    it’s so wierd that vail ignored Peak resorts and used LPA chairs instead of Omega ones.

      Why do some resorts choose the Omega chairs? Do they cost less or is it just to keep parts consistency?

    in the us, some resorts want to match their older era lifts. However, the LPA chairs are banned from use in Australia because Leitner Ropeways and Poma of Europe have already been using them internationally.

      That doesn’t make sense.
