    This is one of my favorite lifts of all the resorts I’ve been to, partially due to the comfort of the ride up. The backrests are nice and tall and the seats are well padded. Am i correct in assuming these LPA carriers are the same style of chairs used on the Grand Canyon Express at AZ Snowbowl?

      Based on another comment on the website, it was sold to Catamount MA/NY and is being installed as the Glade triple.
