This Doppelmayr opened in 1985 and serves as a reliever lift to FourRunner.The last couple towers.Looking up at the top bullwheel.Loading area.Drive-tension station.Lift line seen from Spruce Peak.New haul rope about to go on in 2018.
I hope this lift gets renamed when it is replaced, as it is quite bland and confusing. If I tell someone, “I am going over to Mountain,” the response is usually, “The Mountain? Which mountain?” because of the multiple peaks at Stowe.
Noticed the name of the new 6 pack is still not given on this site. While it’s up for debate on who actually came up with it, the new name shall be SUNRISE… Now will there be some kind of lift suffix attached? Who knows… Sunrise 6? Sunrise express is already taken by Stratton.
There are certain parameters in a lift rope that need to be tested on a regular basis, and if the tests show any failures on those parameters, the rope fails and has to be replaced before the lift can be used again.

Good to s a replacement here. Hopefully it moves the bulk of the skiers to the lower part of Mansfield and off the Fourrunner.

Usually just call lifts on Mansfield the quad or the triple.

Which would mean when it’s replaced, it will just be referred to as the 6-Pack.

Why did they replace the rope four years prior to removal?
