This lift is a Monarch Standard not XT (you can tell by the space by the ladder) it also is the first Skytrac ordered by Vail resorts and the first Skytrac to have 4/4 combos. I had a nice time building it with Casey, Joe, Phil and Mike.

There are five combi towers on this lift: towers 2, 3, 6, 11, and 12. The only lift on the mountain with more combi towers than that is the Silver Queen Express lift with seven (6, 7, 11, 12, 15, 20, 21).
