European? Oftentimes it depends on the manufacturing capabilities and capacities of either Wolfurt or Ste.-Jerome. In this case, Ste.-Jerome may have been maxed out and the towerheads had to come from Austria to meet the install timeline.
This is the first chairlift that I’ve seen where there is a microphone system in the lift shack where they operators can talk to the guests and vice versa.
Beautiful lift! The color schemes are similar to the two UNI Gs at Vail (Avanti and Mountaintop). Still not a big fan of the Puck style footrests, however this is one of the most beautiful lifts I have seen.
wow what a nice lift

This is definitely one of the better UNI-G color schemes I’ve seen

Same color scheme as Cloudchaser.

But not Early Riser
This is probably due to Early Riser trying to match the Woodward brand color scheme

Why did they opt for Canadian style tower heads?

It’s nice to see that Mount Bachelor retained the slatted backrests on this lift similar to its predecessor.
