A wonderful day at Mount Saint Louis Moonstone where we get to check out their new Doppelmayr 8 pack. #skiequipment #skilift #chairlift #winter #ski #snow
Doppelmayr are absolute madlads. If you asked them to build a gondola cabin with a sound system, lasers and strobes, they would very likely do it. Haven't seen an L-shaped D-Line terminal before, though, as well as 8-packs without bubbles. I prefer bubble-less chairs, though. Sweet lift !
Wasn’t expecting to see you that day as I was working sundance (4 pack fixed grip with the loading carpet) but glad I got to say hi. I’m glad you had a great day
Not only an 8 pack, but it has heated seats too?! A friend of mine and I talked about making something years ago for heated seats on a lift and I was literally just talking to someone today about it. Always wondered why more lifts don't have them. Awesome to see someone finally do it!
@@patricksmotors9070 yeah its such a simple idea yet you need to have enough control devices (clutches or electric drives on wheels) and a flexible enough control system to program the functionality in. would be interesting to see some numbers on how tha price compares to a separate garage with simpler controls. atleast where space is limited this is a big win.
I read a comment on liftblog from Everett Kircher who said that the L terminal is required to achieve the very high people per hour capacity of this lift. If they had used a traditional straight terminal with contour loading the timing to load between chairs would have been too short for skiers and would cause misloads. So it was basically a decision of less capacity or get the L terminal.
