It was very ridiculous and boring, IMHO.
I had heard it was the pin as well ... there were a few chairs on that line that were 'creaky' when ridden, I would grope around trying to silence them along the ride up ... something I've encountered on several older lifts in Any Skitown, USA ...

I just went on the Hunter website - wanted to see how much snow was left to hike this weekend....
On the landing page are 2 photo's that really make me wonder.........
One is of the enterance to the 6 pack showing that the gates are not working correctly (which was the case for several weeks) and the second more disturbing is a phote of what is the old quad stantions ready to be installed, with obvious large rust spots on them

Those towers are on Hunter West at the bottom.They have been there all winter. They have yet to be refinished. Guess they will do those onsite? Either that, or they are extra's and the towers are still at the factory being galvanized like the cross arms were.

Does not matter if they are going to be galvinized, although they definitly should be, what kind of advertisment it that?? Broken gates and rusty poles - come on..........

I don't think many other people are seeing that in those photos...I see a closed lift and some uninstalled towers.

i looked at the picture of the lift with the gates, them being broken didn't jump out at me.
Ugh!
You'll never see anything broken about those gates in a picture. What catskillman/huntercritic is talking about are those stupid little gates that say stop on them and that automatically open to let the next riders on the lift move forward. ONE of them was broken in the open position for the last 3 weeks of the season or so.
I don't ride the 6-pack much, but I hated those stupid gates and always rode the one that was broken when I did ride the lift the last 3 weeks of the season. Frankly, I wish they were all "broken" like that.
No kidding. Plus it made my wife terrified to try scuba diving :lol:
