Are they replacing Raferty?

[vons]

Yup.

[RibStaThiok]

<sigh> all good things must come to an end I suppose. What's she being replaced with?

[vons]

FGQ with carpet loading. I believe, there is an post earlier in the tread with more info on the project

[RibStaThiok]

Well all be darned. That's quite the upgrade for that resort. Nice to hear. Sad that a classic is goning away.

Were they able to re-use most of the concrete, or has that been happening up until now.

New berghoff operating syste too. will also have a loading conveyor.

PCMR posted a picture on their Facebook page today that indicates it will be the old King Con replacing Motherlode, instead of a new lift - can't pull it up at work but it says they're moving chairs from King Con over to Motherlode

Just got back from Banff, hitting up some spring turns at Sunshine Village, Doppelmayr was flying concrete for the new Teepee Town lift and most of the new lift is sitting in the parking lot. Fun to watch the bird land next to the gondola you are on. I'll post picks once I unpack.

I got over to Snow King today and took a few pictures. It's almost done!

Interesting terminal looks very similar to SkyTrac's design.

Anyone been up to Vail to see how Avanti dismantling is going?

[liftmech]

Given that it's up on the hill, and it's still snowing, probably not.

[Backbowlsbilly]

Not yet Donald, but I was up at A Basin enjoying some spring pow on Pali and ran over to check out the progress at Loveland thus far, chair and cable are off, pictures are attached below.

Also on a completely unrelated note, I got my first position in the industry as an operator on Water World's Yan jigback gondola so if anybody has any questions on that particular system, I could try and answer them.
