not really a downgrade. Yeah it’s lower capacity but the demand is low. And the super fast brand new triple is way better than the ancient center pole quad. Ride time cut in half

Man these pictures just illustrate how sad the snow year has been in Northern Michigan this year. For late-Feb, its terrible.
Beautiful new lift never the less.

When do you guys think that doppelmayr will start to offer the puck footrests on double and triple chairlifts in North America
I’ve seen double chairlifts in Europe that have the puck style footrests

Hopefully not soon; those puck footrests are awful.

A downgrade upgrade? What happened? Are there any other downgrade upgrades?
