Why does this lift have extra height even on the return? Usually the returns on these models look like a U shape, with the middle exposed. Also, these bubbles are basically useless now. Since there is no covered parking area And they are old, they are so scratched and exposed to sun, making it impossible to see through. I think Sun Peaks could keep this lift because it never gets that busy, but when the chair gets too old, they should replace it with a six pack bubble, as long as they remember a chair parking bin so the bubbles don’t get ruined. Maybe the capacity will be more of an issue with the new crystal chair, because burfield Will have less traffic
This lift is actually 2,800 pph or 2,400 pph, not 1,500.

That’s not unique to Sunburst. Jersey Cream and Glacier Express also have the raised stack on their return terminals, and they’re of the same vintage.

The bubbles on this lift don’t actually look too out of shape.
