This lift replaced two Hall-VonRoll doubles in 2021.Warhorse is the second Skytrac quad chair built at Whiteface.Like the prior lift, it crosses under the gondola.Upper part of the lift line.Arriving at the top drive terminal.This is the only top drive chairlift at Whiteface.View down the line.Gondola crossing.Lower lift line.Hold down tower.Tower 1 and the loading area.Lift overview.
The top drive is an interesting choice here … I wonder if they tried to kill two birds with one stone by laying any needed electrical for a new Freeway chair.
They did actually perform some electrical upgrades for Freeway, but I’m not sure it was in any way related to this lift. Prior to this lift being built, the gondola was the only top drive lift at Whiteface.

Not really.. You’ve got that lodge up there, so power was not so big of a deal.
