This picture depicts a lift much longer than the stats that I read on liftblog. That's gotta be 3K feet. They must not have completed the trail down to the base yet.

Yup, still cannot believe they took it down so low.

Want a retired Barker Chair? Too bad they are the newer Poma chairs and not the original Yan frames. Benefits the River Fund and Maine Adaptive.

Good on them for the cause but damn isn't Poma still deploying those chairs on new builds? These aren't 40 year old Yan triple chairs.
Boyne seems to only install Dopplemayer machines.
I assume they don't have a use for them on any of there other existing chairs, so get a tax credit for donating them to charity?

Pretty much and they have a ton of the Poma Quad chairs in a lot down below the Summit hotel as well. South Ridge Express is their last remaining Poma Quad in the East, pretty sure they have enough spare carriers til that goes away in the not too distant future.

Valve station work has recommenced on Aurora and Oz. The Oz house is interesting in that along with 8" valves for Lost Princess, Eureka and LP/Cowardly, it has a 8" blind flange for a future Lift 15 trail and a bigger 12" blind flange for a peak behind Oz.
The North Peak pumphouse will be sending water to Aurora, Oz and Jordan at 6,000 GPM, with a full build out at 9,000 GPM in the future. That is enough volume to run 3 medium T2B trails on any of those peaks or 2 longer ones.

They flew towers (not sure if just some of them or if it was all of them) last week for Barker 6, so it looks like it is coming along!

Nice pic - it’s surreal to see those new Doppelmayr towers in place of the vintage Yan “Y” towers that graced Agony for 30+ years

It's starting to look a lot like The Alps.
Some day is now.

Nothing like a character to soften the blow lol.
Why do you say blow? I think this is great and should be the course every year. Should end the season there too

Well they will have a lot more to blow then when they only had to blow the top of Locke to open. So it may be opening later

Also thinking of the Map the only logic next step is having to blow all of Kansas/lights out and cyclone/statefair. 2 of the most boring traverses on Earth.
