this chairlift used to have 110 chairs but now there’s 109 because number 33 got removed after a storm and employees did not take care of that chair properly and when it reached the top it mistook a turn Fell to the ground and fell to pieces and now it’s in the scrapyard
the chairs are fairly newer replacements. This lift originally had center-pole carriers

How does bike park operations work with this lift? Is it lap load only or do they just toss bikes onto the alpine slide hooks?

Bikes use the Berkshire Express. In summer, they have hangers just for alpine slides.
