Belleayre Chair 7 down?

[tnt1234]

What's up with Chair 7? Saw that it went down over the weekend and they had to hustle to open the Super Chief up and running. Looks like it's still down.

Anyone know the story?

The drive motor broke down. It was rebuilt over the summer and is at the shop being serviced. Unfortanate should be waranty

Ugh.

Did they have to evacuate the lift?

They have bad luck with lifts - about 50% of the time I am there, there is at least one closure for maintenance in the middle of the busy day.

When lift 7 closed they had to stop operations on the Saturday or Sunday. They still needed to do several hours of maintenance on super chief. They never got it done, so didn't reopen.
How do they not do this week over summer? The more that changes at Belleayre, the more things stay the same....

I was there, glad they started loading a half hour early, got 6 runs in. Went to Hunter after the lift broke. I was on my buddy's Dick's ISKINY gold card, they wouldn't give me a voucher. My friend GD was there for ski council day, they gave him a $39 credit. I thought that was pretty cheesy, should've got an anytime voucher.

Actually they opened Lift 6 at 3PM Sunday. Lift 7 went down around 10 AM so yes no upper mountain chair for most of the day.

Wife and I were on the last chair to the top when it went down. As other posters said, they sent the motor out to be rebuilt over the Summer and one of the bearings that was replaced failed. Stuff happens.

What us lift 6? They don't call any chair on the map that. And who the he'll will wait 5 hrs for another lift? Will Belleayre pay my bar tab if I sit there all day waiting?

Lift 6 is the Superchief. Yes it's on the snow report as Superchief Quad 6. Most locals and employees just refer to it as "6." Tomahawk is lift 8.

No they didn't pay our bar tab but they do buy back!!!

Lift 7 was back in operation Friday through the weekend.
