Does this lift have heated seats?

@idahoskilifts4242 Ай бұрын

When I rode it, I didn't feel any heat on the seat, so I don't think so. I'm not 100% on that.

bye bye coach and bitter root lifts

@idahoskilifts4242 Ай бұрын

Excited for the new Coach Quad. But I'm really gonna miss Bitterroot, I grew up riding it.

Why is it running so slow?

@idahoskilifts4242 2 ай бұрын

Most lifts that run in the summer and winter tend to run slower in the summer. The reason being, it's easier for foot traffic to load and unload on foot since they don't have skis or snowboards. The other reason is to make unloading/loading bikes off the bike carriers easier.

Dang, skytrac make the ugliest lifts around

@idahoskilifts4242 2 ай бұрын

This lift is a Yan Double. The new Coach lift coming this summer will be a Skytrac.

@@idahoskilifts4242 I know. Both companies made ugly lifts. I like dopp and Poma lifts

@idahoskilifts4242 2 ай бұрын

@vicioushanzo5740 I'll admit, Skytrac terminals don't look as nice as Doppelmayr fixed-grip terminals, but the chairs on Skytrac lifts are a really cool design.

It's actually only 8 minutes, the old lift took 10 minutes.

The biggest benefit Flying Squirrel brings is providing an alternate route out of Warm Springs base if Challenger should go down for any reason. Such an alternate route hasn't existed since the original Flying Squirrel burned down (if Challenger was down, you could use Greyhawk and Flying Squirrel).

@FlyballSkiing 3 ай бұрын

If you pay attention at the end of the video, you can see the old Challenger and Greyhawk carriers now present on Christmas.

@idahoskilifts4242 3 ай бұрын

Yup, saw that on Christmas and Frenchman's.

Skytrac controls?

@faxymachine 4 ай бұрын

whats the difference if its bottom driven instead of top driven?

@idahoskilifts4242 4 ай бұрын

Bottom drive is where the motor/main power source of the lift is.

@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 4 ай бұрын

This lift was constructed to replace Cold Springs, a Riblet double chairlift with Yan drive terminal that started at the bottom of the Cold Springs Cutoff. Cold Springs was the main egress lift out of Seattle Ridge, although Mayday also serves that purpose. Until the construction of Challenger 6 and Flying Squirrel in 2023, Broadway was the sole high speed lift on the mountain other than the gondola to be a pure Doppelmayr lift since the other high speed quads were Yoppelmayrs (Yan high speed quads refurbished by Doppelmayr).

@idahoskilifts4242 4 ай бұрын

I have vivid memories riding the old Cold Springs double, rode it for years up to it's removal. Broadway and Flying Squirrel also feature the white lines on the EJ chairs, which is a nice touch. Flying Squirrel is the 1st lift on Bald Mountain that has 90 degree unloading. Stay tuned for my videos of Challenger 6 and Flying Squirrel in early March.

@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 4 ай бұрын

This is a very much dated video, as the teardrop chairs on this lift and Christmas were replaced in 2023 with secondhand EJ chairs from the Challenger and Greyhawk lifts. Now all of the high speed quads on the mountain have EJ chairs, though those on Flying Squirrel and Broadway have puck footrests (as the two to be original Doppelmayr lifts vs. retrofitted Yan lifts).

@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 4 ай бұрын

For the 2023-2024 season, the teardrop chairs on this lift and Frenchman's were replaced with Doppelmayr EJ chairs from the retired Challenger and Greyhawk lifts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHOmm3t6hJuJaJI&pp=ygUZY2hyaXN0bWFzIHN1biB2YWxsZXkgbGlmdA%3D%3D

A beautiful lift! I love the wide tower spacing afforded by the wide chair spacing. Makes the lift line just a bit more scenic!
