This was the last remaining Hall lift at Caberfae after 2016.Drive station on a track.Nearing the top terminal.Upper terminal next to the old Clubhouse top terminal.View down the lift line.Lower lift line.Counterweight.
They put a lot of work into this lift over the summer. I watched via their webcam as they swapped out many chairs for ones they had reconditioned. Hope they aren’t going to put off the planned replacement. I hoped to see work on footings and the clearing of a few trees for the new lift as they did footings for the last triple a year in advance of construction. Caberfae has a high standard for lift maintenance, probably because of their minimalist approach to the number of lifts, they realize a major failure of any one lift could cripple the place, probably why they kept two lifts on North Peak instead of putting in a 6pack. Plus that CTEC quad is a beast, would cost a lot just to pull it out.
To be replaced in the summer of ’22? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DsvvJme0L4
