    This lift replaced the Cloud Nine, Exhibition II and Olympic double chairlifts.

      Incorrect. It starts a tad lower than the old double, but serves basically the same pod. Exo 2 was made redundant by the current Exhibition quad, as it served the upper half of that line. Oly was never replaced and you have to lap much of its pod via Loge Peak.

    Skico added chairs to this lift over the summer to boost its capacity to 1800 from 1200.

      You’ll most likely be able to tell which chairs are the new ones because they’ll have the current Leitner-Poma logo instead of the 1999 logo.

    I often wish they either kept Olympic in place or extended this lift to start near the bottom of Grand Prix poma. Good to see they increased capacity though.
