Any resorts for this winter season yet? I’m staying in Utah since I’m at college, but will be filming lifts I missed filming last season with my IKON premium pass, Deer Valley’s new lifts, and even Sundance will be on the list!

@@idahoskilifts4242 They removed the mountain coaster to make room for the Wild Blue Gondola and the relocated Christie Peak Express terminal. Also, the mountain coaster made things more cluttered and was a bit of an eyesore, so I’m kinda happy it was removed. The coaster had its fans, but this just wasn’t the right location for it.

The UPPER terminal of the 8-person Doppelmayr UNI-G gondola at Steamboat DOES have an exposed bullwheel. Note: We know that Steamboat also has the Wild Blue Gondola, a 10-person Doppelmayr D-Line gondola, especially because it appears in the background of the clips where you unload Sundown Express and where you show the lower terminal of the Bashor lift!

I missed the premiere of this video, but the best/craziest moments (in my opinion of course) are the double startup on the Summit at Whitefish, the winds on Three Bears and the summit of Tucker Mountain at Copper Mountain, the winds at the top of the Lazy J Rope Tow at Arapahoe Basin, the automatic locking bars on Greenhorn Ranch Express at Steamboat. I also liked seeing Storm Peak Express and Sundown Express lifts in this video.
