This lift services its own pod away from other lifts at Bristol.Garaventa CTEC tri-leg return station with tensioning.The lift line is relatively flat along its entire length.Loading area.Departing the bottom station.Riding up the line.Middle part of the line.Tower 7.Monopod drive station.Drive bullwheel.Upper station.Lower station.
This lift takes too long and it’s always bouncing around. I would love to see them replace it with a high sped quad. I do like it’s one of the quieter lifts with footrests. I think this would be a great expansion area but due to the zippiness and the profile of the mountain probably not
On drive/tension combo Garaventa-CTEC lifts, it’s inside the motor room, on lifts like this where the drive & tension are separated, it’s in the lift shack with the tension hoses routed through the mast and piped underground from the shack to the cylinders.

The area served by this lift was an expansion when it was built and no lift followed this line previously

I didn’t know that? It’s like a 1,000 foot difference. It’s longer then the one at Okemo too

Where are the Tensioning motors on the carriage for all G-C-tec’s? This obviously isn’t counterweight.
