Really nice lift. I wonder what kind of deal they worked out with SkyTrac, as they are still fundraising for this lift. It’s nice of SkyTrac to offer flexibility in their payments, but it also seems to have screwed Frost Fire, ND.

$1.7 million came in the form of a loan from Washington Trust Bank, which presumably now must be paid back. https://www.spokanejournal.com/local-news/mt-spokane-ski-snowboard-park-to-erect-new-chairlift/

Is that a height adjustable bottom terminal?

Nope, not height adjustable, the mountain doesn’t usually get enough snow to justify one.
