They've always looked like that, and yes pretty hideous for sure.

One day in a land far, far away. We had a company outing at Pat's
Played rugby at the base and took the triple to the top.
You can never go home ....

I believe that I read somewhere that Poma and Dopp have actually patented their chair designs and made it difficult for the (formerly) independent SkyTrac to make carriers.

Well you CERTAINLY can't miss their distinctive appearance! And I am also in the "not a fan" of there look, even though many of my early chairlift rides were on a Riblet center pole double that has some resemblence to Sky Trac's current look

The SkyTrac design is such that they can use the same ”bail” for doubles, triples, and quads. The only thing needing to be swapped out is the seat and restraining bar.
A rare SkyTrac double, it actually looks quite good:

But remember, these carriers won’t be used. The original CTEC quad carriers will be used (possibly with modified restraining bars.

Pats Peak to construct 21 million gal snowmaking pond at top of resort and increase electric feed and water pumping capacity to 8000 GPM and over 200 guns simultaneously. Damn, with that type of firepower, if they get temps like we had this December, they could be 100% 10 days after they open possibly!
They've been planning on having a "top down" system for quite some time. I am honestly surprised that they had not built that pond sooner. It's been in the works for decades.
Makes sense. We've had a cold winter, but many recently have been warm with short overnight snowmaking windows, especially for a low elevation place like Pat's.
They already have great snowmaking, so I am excited to see what even better looks like.

Well-timed on multiple fronts. Season pass sales just went live. And it looks like a warm-up to make folks ask who will have a resilient snowmaking product.

That place already smokes Crotched post Vail takeover, this is going to really set them apart.
