@ScottySkis sends all his best and asked me to share:

The issue here is really the availability of parts. Laz is concerned that there is no way to get the needed parts in a timely fashion.

I certainly hope that is not true.

Yep, when people read drive they think motor. But this is the actual DC soft start for the motor, which is full of all of the electronics that are mighty hard to come by lately. Then you have all of the controls that burned up too. Ugh, totally sucks. While nowhere near ideal, at least they could operate off the triple for a season if they really had to.

Any word on a fundraiser for this?

 

[Newpylong]

Laz has pockets, it's not a question of money but time and availability.

Halls are all over the place - are there a lot of old parts floating around or are the controls a bit more specialized?

They may be required to install the latest, greatest to meet current code requirements.

Insurance likely. Deductible will be real.

Not sure about insurance to cover biz loss if you can't get the parts.

More on NYSB.

The controls themselves are highly specialized, and you don't want to go scouring NELSAP for something like that. As for the drive, a 200HP 3PH/480V/60HZ panel is fairly specialized but more importantly there is a lack of any new circuit boards right now so...

Precisely.

Get the T-bar back up and running!

A year or so of earning your turns off the triple might be pretty sweet. There would probably be fresh turns for days up on the NF stuff.

I have no doubt that it would benefit me personally. I'm thinking about the mountain.

It worked for me

 

[cdskier]

So the link worked for me if I copy/paste it, but not if I click on it.

Mostly the same info as what is posted here: https://plattekill.com/trail-report/
