This lift was designed to be a double-double but the second half was never added.

Inside the bottom station.
For the 2023-24 season this lift was shortened to about half its former length.
New top station location with access to Bucksaw Express.
Relocated return.
A number of towers on the upper part of the new line were shuffled around from their previous locations.

      With the shortening of the lift, not anymore.

    It looks kind of ugly due to only having one half

    Does the weight on the towers being unbalanced cause issues?

      should not, lifts are engineered to be able to handle unequal loads as such. There are multiple other double doubles with only one loaded side. Over time there is a slight chance that metal fatigue may cause issues, as on any lift tower, however critical points on towers are frequently inspected to find any issues
