Boyne Resorts has been building them like crazy across all their resorts and has a reputation of decking them out with every bell and whistle possible including bubbles, heated seats, loading conveyors and a ton more luxury features which I assume they would do at Brighton as well. Here is a link to a D-line 6 pack Boyne installed at Big Sky: https://liftblog.com/swift-current-6-big-sky-mt/
I was wondering do you think this is going to become a HS6B or just an HS6. I would like to see the first bubble lift in the canyons. Also wondering if the old lift will be reused like shedhorn at big sky. Would be cool if they used it in a future expansion.
Knowing Boyne I would assume it is likely to have bubbles along with every other bell and whistle imaginable.
Also, Boyne has committed to not buying new HSQ’s and instead upgrading their backbone lifts that are HSQ’s to 6 or 8 packs and relocating the HSQ’s elsewhere after totally refurbishing them. This wouldn’t necessarily be at Brighton, but I’d almost guarantee the Crest HSQ would find a new home at one of Boyne’s resorts.

True, this is the only DS-104 ever to be installed in Utah. It’s also strange considering the amount of DS-104s that had been in Colorado.

If Boyne wants to build an 8 pack at Brighton it should be here.

What is D Line? How does a D line 6 pack compare to non D line 6 pack chair lifts? I am confused.
