One note on this lift, they load it as a double due to weight constraints. Because their clientele is heavily skewed adult male, and the average adult male is heavier than the population average, they load two at a time to not go over the weight limit (per their social media).
Almost looks like Doppelmayr lifting frames.

Not a fan of the lime green or purple chairs. I am a fan of seeing a Riblet being re-used, even if it has new Skytrac terminals.

After the recent upgrades, there are no longer any restrictions on loading the lift; it’s run as a normal triple
