    It’s super cool to see there are still old hall lifts running today.

    The name of the lift is probably a reference to the planned (but later cancelled) Powder Ridge Rock Festival that was supposed to happen in the summer of 1970.

      I am glad that they didn’t replace the seats. Those old Hall wooden seats are much, much more comfortable than the metal ones. Plus, it adds to the charm.
