    Those lifting frames are not original, are they?

    This lift doesn’t see much use now, doesn’t it?

      It generally runs only on weekends and peak days. Everything this serves can be accessed from Comstock, but on busy days Comstock has long lines.

    Are you planning to replace this old lift with a new one?

      I would assume not anytime soon. All of this lift’s terrain is served by Comstock, which was just replaced
