The lifting frames used on this lift (also Massif Express, the Gondola at Silverstar, Blackcomb Gondola) are the same as those used by Doppelmayr of France. Considering 3 of the 4 lifts I named were built this year, it would seem that Doppelmayr USA (at least in Canada) has phased out the Dopplemayr of Europe ones (such as those found on Powder Seeker and Ramcharger 8). Other combined lifts built by Doppelmayr USA (Beaver Creek, Mont Orford, Sunday River, Northstar) all use the Doppelmayr of Europe lifting frames – this is the first combined lift to use the Doppelmayr of France one.
Another peculiarity is that the Omega IVs have 8 buffers instead of the standard 4.
The lower set of bumpers appears to be to protect the cabins from colliding with chairs, while the upper set is in the usual spot to protect from collisions with other cabins.
