I believe the current capacity is actually 2000 rather than 2400. The lift has 66 chairs. It should have 78-79 for full capacity. The spacing on the Belleayre Superchief is noticeably closer.
Today I was at Windham and this lift was running at the pathetic speed of only 610 ft/min. This led to an 11.8-second loading interval, long ride, and a capacity of only 1,220 p/h. It has been running quite slow this year, and it certainly didn’t seem like the lift was having any RPD related issues. Hopefully, Windham can speed this up because the current speed is pathetic.
I will have to disagree with you on that. I personally think that the standard Uni-G model looks more modern and sleek than the Uni-GS. Not trying to start a lift war though…
Love this lift the most. Great view of the main mountain. Accesses the longest novice trail at the resort and some steep advanced trails. It is kinda slow too. Love for them to install footrests. Always a quiet lift.

I have long thought that the UNI-GS terminal style looks better than the already good-looking UNI-G terminals.

In my opinion, the UNI-GS looks better than the UNI-G. I have never been a huge fan of the UNI-G model terminal.
