    The hanger arms look longer than usual for an LPA six pack. Does that relate to the bike carriers this will use during the summer?

      Yes, hangers are the long style to accommodate bike racks. My understanding is that once the racks are installed, they will remain in-place year-round.

    Going off the chart, this is the first instance I can think of for a high speed six pack having more chairs than the high speed quad it replaced, even if it’s just three more chairs (123 to the quad’s 120).

      Interesting to see a hydraulic shock on the restraint bar. Not a fan.

        That’s not a hydraulic shock. It’s a steel spring with a plastic shroud just like all the other LPA carriers at Snowmass.

    I will say that the lifties on this lift have a really nice setup at the bottom terminal. They have a grill, there is a microwave inside the lift shack, and its really spacious too.

      There’s also a restroom with plumbing and running water. Most of the lift shacks just have a vault nearby.

        The size may make it harder to hotbox though
