Silvertip was the fourth lift built as part of the Eglise Rock expansion, opening at the beginning of 2020.The top terminal is located next to a similar lift called Great Bear.Line gauge is wider than a typical detachable quad for wind resistance purposes.Upper part of the lift line.Looking up the line.Tower 9.There is one hold down tower, number 10.The bottom terminal.View up from the bottom terminal.Loading area and operator house.Small maintenance rail.The first two towers both have combination assemblies.Leaving the bottom station.View back down the line.Unloading area.Another view of the return terminal.Unlike some lifts at Yellowstone Club which alternate regular chairs, this lift is all bubbled.Breakover towers 16 and 17.Arriving at the lift-served summit of Eglise.
Lifts that start with tower 1 as a combi rather than a depression tower are pretty rare. In this case, it has to do with a shallow climb-out, which makes it like the Larkspur Express.
Other detachables that do this generally do so for other reasons. (The Born Free Express, for instance, crosses a creek right out of the loading area; the Kensho SuperChair has to travel relatively flat for about 600 feet before it starts climbing)
Love the shot of the Beav’s Larkspur lift with the HONKIN’ STEEP Goshawk run in the background above the Birds of Prey lift and timing shack in the back ground…….. Beaver Creek rocks….

Does this lift have heated seats? Also is the line gauge the same for a six pack or slightly narrower?

None of the lifts at YC have heated seats.

Thought there was a reason this lift has six-pack line gauge.

It’s wider for wind resistance.

So essentially they made it wider so that the chairs could swing more and not hit the towers. Wow!
