As an early UNI G, it’s noticeable that there’s no straight section in the turnarounds at the terminals, and much like the Spacejet of Sundance or the UNI of Sunburst, the turnaround is one continuous 180 degree turn.
I don’t think all UNI-G’s have this setup though. It could be because of the placement of the terminal. Brooks Express which was installed last year doesn’t have a straight section, unless Doppelmayr switched back. And also, isn’t the UNI-G just the terminal skin, or was there a major design change in the terminal itself?
Spacing sections on all versions of the UNI terminal begin in the straightaway and continue halfway around the contour; the original was on the arrival side, the first UNI-Gs were on the arrival as well, and later models could be either. I’m not sure about the -GS but I’m sure it was the same as the earlier -G since the machinery inside was the same.
It’s fairly common for people to put stickers on chairs, towers, the terrain boards at the bottom of ski lifts that tell you what the lift services, and ski trail signs.

That straight section in the turnaround is most likely the space clutch, but I could be wrong.

They pretty much always run this lift fast, usually from 950-1000 fpm

Is this a case of a HSQ with access to it being served solely by a surface lift?
