The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

They said it’s not running as fast as it should be because the conveyer at the loading isn’t synced up with the chairs so it running a little slower but it seemed fine to me. It will be nice when they are running the other new one too.
They have been running it 1/3-1/2 speed so that's not a good basis of comparison. It has been running 1.6 meters per second. During the week it will be running in the upper 3's. Give the operators time to get used to the new equipment. It's not as easy as just flipping a switch.

Ah, you know... the public wants to flip a switch and turn it into Micky World Skiing.

Very retired patrol member. It's a battle to put down snow here. Soon, though, it will be a growth industry.
