Bump

Mont-Sainte-Anne | Assez, c’est assez !

Québec attend-il vraiment qu’il y ait des morts pour enlever les clés du Mont-Sainte-Anne à son propriétaire ?

I just translated using the browser. Some awkward phrasing is produced which is an entertaining read.

Province Orders Mont-Sainte-Anne Closed Again

Yikes, with good snow right before Xmas.

The province and mountain never signed their supposedly agreed to $50M CAD deal last year. Kind of wonder if this has something beyond what's up on the hill to do with this. IE, power play between the 2.

Wild they're running detaches from the mid/late 80s with seemingly all original equipment. The only detachables I know of from that time period still running have been massively overhauled. I haven't ridden a lift with a chain-driven terminal since Stratton overhauled the Starship Gondola and that was 10ish years ago. Maybe Sugarbush had a quad on the Mt. Ellen side that had a chain for the chairs?

Chain driven terminals are still out there. NRX at Sugarbush was, Loon's Gondola still is kind of (clips anyway to move carriers around the terminal), Tremblant's Versant Solei HSQ is chain cadenced as well. But the drive bull wheel outside the detach terminal, that is super old. Forerunner was that with the first generation HSQ at Stowe. But that was replaced quite a few years ago now with a brand new HSQ.

Mont Sutton still has a Dopp chain drive HSQ

This is a bit interesting. I'd typically think of a 25kV line as something that's likely the responsibility of the power utility (which in Quebec - is the state), but the phrasing here + elsewhere seems to phrase it like it's the resort's problem.

Anyone know who's actually responsible for it?

Killington has high voltage primary lines that they own and contract with Green Mnt Power to maintain.
