And therein lies the problem, but I digress.

Tariffs affect this? I would assume so.

Steel is trading right around 2017 prices, but I'm sure it would be even cheaper without the tariffs.

Jesus Christ...

don't these ski resorts pay an engineering consultant to prepare these applications? That is a mistake that wouldn't leave my company or anything I review...

You're talking about what amounts to a clown show. At least they got the right lift name in there.

Dopp builds the UniG gear in the US, so should not affect too much of it.

Terminal steel and line gear: Canada
Towers: USA
Operator houses: USA
Control system: USA
Station enclosures: Austria
Grips: Austria
Haul rope: Switzerland
Chairs: Asia, I believe Thailand

My guess is ellen will close completely early next year when they start removal of lift, similar to the amount of terrain they had to close when replacing HG.
