Cost-benefit wise, fixed-grip probably makes sense but a detachable would certainly distinguish Lookout Pass in this region full of fixed-grips. I’m amazed Silver Mountain still spins a 5,300′ Riblet.
Silver Mountain has been plagued with financial issues, but with it recently changing hands, hopefully the owner has plans of investing in some new infrastructure. I’ve only skied Silver Mountain a few times and 2 out of the 4 times, it rained while there.
says here Lookout Pass will install a new Skytrac Quad in the summer of 2022 and grow to 1650 feet vertical. Not noted on your new 2022 lifts page yet.

Do you think they should replace chair 1 with a detachable or fixed grip quad?
