Chair falls off lift at Camelback

I think it's marketing driven. Put in the fancy lifts at the feeder hills and people will want to ride the fancy lifts at their larger resorts in NE or out west.

Not referring to people on here.

I agree. People will stand in line for those bubble lifts for 20 minutes when they could have been to the top on a fixed grip lift in 5. It's all marketing. People will go to Blue and Camelback over other areas, no matter the crowds, just because of those lifts.

From Lift Blog: "Confirmed @skicamelback's new sixer will be a Doppelmayr D-Line. The United States will go from 6 D-Line lifts to 13 over the next ~8 months."

Shawnee still has the fastest lift in the state... see if Blue and Camelback run theirs faster

They'd have to define the region very narrowly - Blue's new lift will have bubbles, too.

It won't, Blue's getting a traditional six pack - at least based on every press release I've seen that says nothing about enclosed chairs/bubbles, and knowing that there's no room at either end for a chair barn.

Ah. A ski patroller had told me he heard it would be a bubble. This was before anything was officially announced.

Well, if it is a bubble nobody in the lift/ops media has confirmed it yet - when they have said so about Camelback's.

I was not arguing with you. I was acknowledging your point and telling you why I thought it was going to be a bubble. Sheesh.

I wasn't arguing with you, just saying why I was confident Blue's new lift isn't a bubble and being clear that I can't point to an article explicitly saying "This isn't a bubble", just articles calling Camelback's six pack a bubble lift and then not saying that about Blue.
