I heard motor shot. Lot's of mechanical breakdowns lately.

Without F lift I hate skiing at Hunter, especially on a crowded weekend.

I guess it's done for the season; probably me too at Hunter.

I only live an hour away and the lines on the Webcam kept me away last week. I see where the Lift Issue was acknowledged by Hunter on Facebook, but they didn't address the prognosis. Any idea if it is down for the season? It may not be a big deal the last few weekends, but the only other mention I find is here: https://liftblog.com/category/news/ and there source is listed as this thread.

I'm still hoping for one of those classic end-of-season days when it's Cliff to Racers all day long, both bumped to the max, with possibly a little mud sprinkled in in places... :)

Fri-Sat Cliff-Racers groomed flat as a pancake. Only bumps were Upper Crossover, Lower K and Milky Way.

Which lift is F lift? I usually hit only the 6 pack on the front side and the main lift on the west side. What am I missing?/

The lift near the top of B lift (quad servicing Kennedy) that goes to the summit. Runs next to Milky Way and over East Side and Minya.
