did they really spend the money on this just to not use it while the 45 year old center pole quad next to it still runs daily? looks like it was closed from the photos, and I really can’t understand why such a small hill would build a new lift like this for a backup/reliever.
Note that this lift uses a hydraulic cylinder for tensioning the cable, instead of a counterweight. You can just see it in the rear view of the loading station, at the center of the overhead framework.
Interesting guides on the lifting frames for the wiring to the brittle bars. I don’t think I’ve seen that before.

Looks like small pieces of conduit welded to the gantries. Seems to work.

The Hurricane and Turbulence chairs at Pat’s Peak, NH have those wire guides. Some old Doppelmayrs have those, too.
