    Thanks for these stunning pictures Peter. I have yet to ride this lift, but it looks beautiful. Interesting note to have that maintenance/parking rail, none of the other lifts built since 2020 have it (beside Pipestone and its parking barn). What’s the hike-to-terrain, I have not seen anything on the new map?
