I was on the Notch hours ago, a lot if fun at White face mountain with 8 inch snow fall from last night.

Nice job being the first one to upload this on TH-cam, can’t wait to see that Overlook video.

Ooh shiny new detachable! Guessing it will help relieve capacity on the other lifts (specifically Falcon Flyer), and add a one seat ride from Bear Den.
Lift has 17 towers and 70 chairs.

[@collinparsons3363]

It actually has 77 chairs, but only 70 were in use on the day of this recording.

[@newenglandskiing17]

surprised they wouldn’t be running it close or at full speed for opening day, but still looks like a great new addition

[@collinparsons3363]

It's a beginner lift, so it runs slower than other high speed quads. Their other two detachables were running faster on the day of this recording.

Will you be recording Belleayre Mountain’s new Lift 7 Quad?

[@collinparsons3363]

I just recorded it today. Stay tuned.

My fav lift so fat

[@TwinSkiingLiftsRides]

Nifty mid-station setup. Does the lift use one haul rope?

[@collinparsons3363]

Two haulropes, with a double groove bullwheel at the mid station. Drive is at the bottom, and tensioning is at both the top and bottom.

[@TwinSkiingLiftsRides]

@@collinparsons3363 Just like Treeline Cirque. Wasn’t expecting the double-haul-rope approach, but still a nice addition.

This is a good video, but this lift is so worthless!
