Killington: Skyeship Express Gondola

[@slatevalleyphysicaltherapy4922]

Skyeship stage 1, and the original gondola stage 1 lift lines actually cross each other. At 4:25 you can see the footings for the original stage 1. The original gondola terminal at Rte.4 is to the Left of the Skyeship base, where the original gondola mid-station at Northbrook is to the Right.

Correction: this isn't the only 2-stage lift in the northeast. The main gondola at Le Massif du Charlevoix is also a 2 -stage lift

[@collinparsons3363]

Le Massif has an angle station, but the segment below and segment above it can't operate independently. There is only one haulrope and drive. That's different than a two stage lift. Skyeship is a true two stage lift. Both stages have separate drives, tensioning, and haulropes and can operate independently. Under normal operating conditions, cabins are interlined between the two stages and it acts as one lift.

[@S43sm]

In Europe this lift would have way less towers.

[@collinparsons3363]

It's an unconventional profile. They wanted it to be low to the ground and wind protected. That means lots of towers.

[@Crazy_Alex_7667]

And does this lift have 2 separate haul ropes or one big one

[@collinparsons3363]

Two separate haulropes. Top drive, bottom tension on each stage. They can operate independently or together, though they are always run together under normal operations.

[@ae86hatch14]

I hope that they refurbish these cabins and make them look new

[@collinparsons3363]

Although the Skyeship cabins are certainly showing their age, they are kept inside the barn 9 months of the year, and the lift has less than half the hours that the K1 Gondola has. The old K1 cabins were in much worse shape when they were replaced compared to the Skyeship cabins.

What’s that big building at the bottom

[@collinparsons3363]

It's the lodge, which is actually the old gondola station that was repurposed.

[@jillsmith3937]

Is it cold inside is it like a tin can but I love this

[@JoshPlayzJG]

It’s heated

[@jeffjensen27]

Nice 👍🏼 Video bud. Dam plan on bringing your tablet to play on that u Is a good 20 min ride or longer? Could not tell if that was running full speed when you rode that. I see Dopplemyer New Gondola 🚡 Cabins Can Now have WiFi on board with touchscreen design into the glass windows. Best way to keep your self entertained on the long ride up the Mtn 🤔😲👍🏼✅

[@nedakalTNT]

holy shit it's a Paul Wanders comment that's not solely about ramcharger. Also the Leitner Poma sigma diamond cabins can also have wifi, for example, Gondola One at vail has wifi as well as heated seats and a speed of 1200 feet per minute.
