Yesterday a chair on the Z lift broke at the weld - while someone was on it! Anyone have a photo?

Yup its like chair lifts have a mind and they know they are going to be replaced. Many years ago when Belleayre's double chair lift 6 was scheduled to be dismantled, Lift 6 would have all these ghost stops and then one day it made ski patrol do a lift EVAC. At least you can still ride Belleayre's old double lift 6 at Plattekill.Its just pissed off that its being replaced...
Anyone know if Hunter's z-Lift is being moved to another resort?
I also heard that clearing has started for glade skiing on the west side. I figured that was for the quad.
word is that Y & Z did not pass the state inspection and are condemmed effective May 1.
If they based the rating of Z lift on comfort level it would have been condemned years ago. It can barely fit two adults, the bar hits you on the head when it comes down, and forget about using the foot rest if you're taller than 4'11". I needed an adjustment from the chiropractor every day I rode it. It must have been built by hobbits and imported from the Shire. That's the price we've had to pay to get to that great terrain. Goodbye Z lift, don't let the door hit ya.
There, I said it. Feel much better now. Rant over.
The right sidebar? WOW - This is differant than the story going around (not that I am surprised)
Were you tilted to the right and sliding that way? Did it just happen or did you feel/hear it giving away.
Glad everyone is OK - it could have been ugly
The only thing that will suck when they put the new lift in is......even more yutzes will be yardsaling down Clairs ..at the same time now...at least the Z kept the numbers down..oy..
