I guess Whistler Blackcomb will need to make the neighboring Peak Express’s bottom terminal red to match this lift. Same with the Garbanzo Express to match Fitzsimmons’s top terminal
My thoughts exactly! I really hope Whistler continues with this red trend, although that likely won’t happen since this lift and Fitz were meant for PC.

Wow, Park City locals really don’t want a new lift! First Fitzsimmons and now this.

What about Fitz? What was that going to replace?

that was Silverlode. Park City said that building it would overfill the terrain it was located in and blocked construction

What happened to the components for the midstation?

I’m not sure. I know some (maybe most) of it was never manufactured. None of it showed up in our parking lot.

No, Glacier and Garbanzo look nice in blue. If there is one lift that has to be painted like this one, it has to be Big Red…
