This high speed quad replaced a Doppelmayr fixed grip quad for the 2022-23 ski season.This is the first lift at Jackson Hole with European made LPA chairs.View riding up near tram tower 3.Drive station controls.Touchscreen display.Drive terminal controls.Two diesel engines.Kissling gearbox.LPA grip.Contour unloading.Side view of the drive terminal.Breakover towers 12 and 13.The top station below Tensleep Bowl.Upper station underskin.View up at tower 12.The top station with sister lift Bridger in the background.Upper lift line below the tram.Lower lift line.Tower 3.View up the line near the base.Side view of the bottom terminal.90 degree loading.Leitner-Poma tower head.View riding up at Thunder run.Looking back down the line.Tower 10 at tower 3 chute.View near the summit.Middle part of the lift line.LPA chair with individual seats.View down at tower 8.Upper lift line.Tower 6.Inside the return terminal.Hold down tower 1.Lift overview.Return station near the tram line.
Looks like both terminals are the LPA models where the entire terminal moves. Since both stations are 90 degree load/unload, how does that work with the ramps?
It doesn’t really affect the top terminal. Yes, it moves, but it’s what we call ‘passive tension’ meaning we have to manually reposition it. The active end, at the bottom, doesn’t move that much during normal operation so while the chair and the ramp may not be exactly aligned, it’s usually not enough to worry about. We’ve had to move our bottom ramp on Excelerator a few times over the years, but it’s not too often.

The real difference between the two is that Casper has older Omega chairs, and this has the current LPA chair model.

What’s the need for 2 diesel engine backup drives as opposed to one?

If you only have one, you can’t continue loading on it. Just unload and shut down. There has to be a backup to continue loading.

I’m curious- how do lifties like the touchscreens? Is that preferred to physical controls?
