Is there a reason as to why every single lift except Shadow Mountain at Aspen-Snowmass has at least some Poma or Leitner-Poma parts? Like, do they have some kind of deal doing on?
From a maintenance perspective it’s nice to have only one manufacturer, bonus when that manufacturer is just two hours down the road. On more than one occasion an emergency parts run was made to get a lift operational for the next next day
I do not know the exact technical term, but one of this lift’s deceleration sensors has been acting up all season, causing the lift to stop fairly frequently.

Ski Co added chairs to this lift over the summer to increase its capacity to 1800 from 1200.

I wonder how many chairs High Alpine has now compared to when it was constructed.

Its original capacity was 1200 and now it is 1800 (50% increase), so I am guessing it has 50% more chairs.

Interesting is the fact that the chairs have the older yellow swoosh Poma logo, although the terminals have the modern logo:

Chair stickers imported Europe perhaps? Poma of France still uses the yellow swoosh logo.

Those are definitely the Euro number stickers. They appear to have the carrier serial number printed on them. Three years later that information was on a plaque riveted to the underside of the seat pan.https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&ik=e4896d621f&attid=0.1.1&permmsgid=msg-f:1715602443709290442&th=17cf0b55391597ca&view=fimg&fur=ip&sz=s0-l75-ft&attbid=ANGjdJ93sSW3EgUTaU9dosUo4ROmeP6dgksM79_1BQlVALILqJLKwRkGaGrXKHZbpeQ5w5U887QsV6wcLG_GzBTcfPqwE9pqoUe2lC9NcKCGv6caylMTg2axoJx_O6M&disp=emb
Note that though the carriers were built in Europe they engraved the American subsidiary logo.

They were imported from Europe so it is possible that Leitner-Poma just put the POMA logo on it and LPA put theirs on the terminals.

Here’s some video of the lift after the capacity upgrade:

We’ve done that run as well. Definitely convenient.
