The terminals look the same as Park City’s King Con Six! Also, why did it get all Canadian Towers but not the Euro Towers to match the Tahoe Zephyr Chondola?
The old lift had a height-adjustable top terminal similar to what Vista and Backside have. The new lift lacks that feature.
Nevertheless, this was a very essential lift replacement, since Comstock laps the main face of Mount Pluto and is the main way of reaching the Backside.
No more depression tower right before the end of the lift and why they had to cut down so many trees near the top? Looking at the old lift photos, there were a lot of trees to the left of the lift right before the top station.

The main way to reach the backside is Zephyr and ski down the trail called Drifter. If you use Comstock, you have to take another lift to get to it.

Comstock and Backside both end at the top of Mount Pluto. All of Backside’s trails can thus be reached from Comstock.

Looking at these pictures, I’d say that it’s because a six pack requires a wider gauge and thus more distance between trees and the lift line.
