I remember riding the replacement lift at cranmore and filming it back in 2018. That old lift was indeed similar but it was a different brand. Good news for you, Im fairly certain this one is here to stay for another good while, as they seem to be quite intent on fixing this one rather then letting it go for the time being; other than a reliability standpoint, there is no need to upgrade this lift. There are still some old classics scattered around the east coast but they’re a dying breed for sure. A few that come to mind in my area (Western NY) are World chair at kissing bridge, the double chair at song mountain, the few 60’s pomas down at Hunter mountain, and of course some Vermont oldies I’ve ridden such as Mad river glen’s birdland chair and single chair, Magic’s and pico’s old double chairs, Ego alley at mt snow…

Yes Vonroll used some of Halls designs on their fixed grips after acquiring Hallift

There’s 4 halls plus a Carlevaro+Savio and a Doppelmayr quad that replaced a Borvig double

single digits farenheight but it was windy up top too

@@northeastchairlifts7605 Duncan is always a cold one haha

Only Duncan, before my Gopro shut off due to cold. I also skied the day before these were filmed, as well. For some reason, they had Duncan running at a reduced speed. Not sure if there was any reason. Lowell Thomas was also running slower since it was running on diesel. The next day everything was running normally

Could it be because the wheels on literally every pole/tower are so squeaky they sound like the metal is corroding? If you think that rhythm of squeaks that’ll stick in your head is toxic, just try coming to Tyrol Basin in Wisconsin; it’s worse over there!
