Bottom terminal and lift line at Creekside base.Poma Omega gondola terminal.View up the line during Olympics construction.The top drive station with cabin maintenance facility.
I’ve never seen a Doppelmayr/CWA gondola with pins. The two in North America with Gangloff cabins (Whiteface and Tremblant) have them however.
The CWA cabins tend to have a guide rail on the inside like Loon has. Gore has a Poma gondola with CWA cabins and it has the Doppelmayr style rail system while Killington (also Poma) has the pins on the bottom.
There are numerous Doppelmayr gondolas with omega cabins and pins. Outpost at Keystone and the gondola at Mont Sainte anne and excalibur at W-b are examples. Whistler village and stratton are both lwi gondolas built by poma with pins.
Were any other Poma gondolas built with this model of gondola cabin?

What is the black spike on the bottom of each cabin for?

Pin for the ground level rails in the terminals. Now with level walk in boarding, the entire cabin is the pin.

Interesting. None of snowbasin’s doppelmayr gondolas aren’t level and have no guide rails or pins. Did only POMA use pins?

An interesting one to note is Gondola 19 at Vail, a 1996 Garaventa CTEC with CWA X12 cabins. They have level walk-in loading and pins on the bottom.

Yan’s detachable terminals were very minimalistic compared to the closest equivalents Doppelmayr and Poma made to them.
