View down the lift line.This lift is flat until the last portion.Modified/relocated Riblet drive terminal.Loading area and lift shack.Center pole chair with unique restraining bars.View down from the summit.Top tension station.
I’m not 100% sure, but I believe a new counterweight is poured anytime a lift is relocated, due to the different requirements of each location. Probably helps logistically too, rather than trying to transport a giant slug of concrete.
Not that I’ve been there, but they look like you can flip them up. I think I’ve been in a chair with similar restrainings bars, might have been at June mountain.

Looks like a newer counterweight, I’d imagine they poured it when the lift was installed/relocated here.

How do you get in and out of that chair with those restraining bars? Where are the bars when loading?

It looks like each side pivots up, so in the open position both of the restraints are in front of the center pole.

Yes, all of you are correct, each side flips up individually, helps when one person doesn’t want to lower the bar, the other still can.
