I want to know what's up with all the grab handles on the safety bar at alta..... It's serious overkill and actually gets in the way of putting the bar down.

They need to go! lol

You should be ashamed of yourself. When the Fourrunner is closed and Madonna is spinning I bet you don't complain!

I keed I keed! Put down the pitchfork!

Although I wouldn't protest if they upgraded the sunnyside double to a triple.

Turning any of the lifts into triples would be cool but makes zero financial sense. A HSQ would ruin the terrain on Madonna. A HSQ on Sterling would be fine but the tickets would be more expensive because of operating cost and need for a lot more snowmaking. The lift ticket price is what differentiates them from their neighbors in the notch.

Its for children's safety. The extra handles are supposed to go between their legs to keep them from slipping under the bar.

They have that at a-basin. Doesn't take up nearly as much space or bang thighs

This is a good one. I'd love to see a 6-pack replace that thing.

One problem they will have is that if they only replace one lift with a high speed lift, the remaining lifts are going to seem that much worse.

No, because if all the hoards flock to that lift I'll just stick to one of the crappy ones! In all seriousness though, something needs to be done. I dont know how much longer they can go on the current lift system.

If I'm at Smuggs I probably dont care what's happening at the FourRunner either way!
