mount snow to install a bubble 6 pack next year!

[carbonXshell]

the bubbles in this video had to be closed and opened by the skiers... they did shut automatically for the ride down and if the chairs were empty going up...

Ugh, the dreaded conveyor. That is definitely something I hope we don't see on the lift, although I am sure I will be disappointed.

According to MS management, there is no conveyor. sorry Rob.

I actually like the conveyor. While some manage to still figure out a way to screw up loading, I think it's helped with the Grand Summit lift.

To hinge on what Vince said, Management mentioned that it's difficult to get 6 people loaded on every chair. We'll have to see how things go. I'm sure they'll be a learning curve all around.

Or another way to put it. Inspite of management's and the lift attendents best efforts, some clueless people paying more attention anything but what they're supposed to be paying attention too will still screw up the loading process! :lol:

I bet there will be 6 people on the first chair on the first day 8)

I have seen people mess up the conveyor many times. Once while in Chamonix they had one and it had a 4 foot drop at the end of it so if you got on too early you would plummet off the end - so they didn't have to stop it.

x2. or x6 perhaps....

And the Storage barn for the bubble chairs is getting its roof put on!

Plus the ship with the actual bubble chairs on it is scheduled to arrive in New York early next week!

Lol the converer belts are tricky sometimes, me a buddy hopped on the one at Loon last year for the first time, I almost took a spill and caught myself, then almost fell again from laughing watching my friend fall 3 more times before the chair got there.

Then again the bubble could help that because the safety meetings could take place in said bubble instead of prior to getting on the converyer belt.:smash:

Actually DrJeff, 48 chairs (bubbles) are on site now,

where is the bottom lift terminal? since it is out of frame how far is the storage shed from the bottom of the lift?

Cool! Can't wait to see them 1st hand on Friday!

As you're looking at that picture, the bottom terminal will be essentially where that glorified cherry picker hydraulic lift is on the left. If you look closely, you can actually see one of the concrete supports for the bottom terminal just below where the boom arm of that cherry picker connects to the engine base.

Then you will be able to see them all by then, and the grips and hanger.

The Bubble Blog (mountsnow.com) has some excellent photos from today. My guess is Dennis spent all day on the forklift.

Check out the storage barn, its coming along pretty well.

 

[Glenn]

They made a ton of progress this week!

 

[MommaBear]

Saw it first hand yesterday...it is really big!

Agree 100% The picture just doesn't do the full scale of the barn justice!
