Guess they did not learn their lesson from the Peak Lodge concrete patio without drains 🤣🤣. I did see water pouring into the top terminal last day J8 was spinning on the downchair side. It was obvious both terminals were not fully completed this off-season with the top terminal more incomplete (lots of plywood in place of glass paneling, etc). If they had to take the bottom terminal apart to get at the problem , sounds like they didn't design this thing very modularly for ease of maintenance as I would have expected from a new, very modern machine design.Ever try changing a headlight in a newer car ?? Parts that are never supposed to break but do anyways...

I hear ya. Dealer wanted $450 for for 1 bulb. OR $2,400 to replace the whole light... YIKES My indy shop was $100 Labor & $191 to $225 for the bulb. Just replaced both headlights on my '65 Ford w/ LED's w/ DRL for about $300 in less than 15 mins.

Old had a gazillion parts and tough to replace. Newest tech is all LRM design, easy to pull the component and change out. Without a gearbox, I would have assumed D-Line tech to be similar

I wonder if the top station for B6 is going up in the newly blasted rocks or did they just clear that rock pile to create some more room up there.

I am not sure whether the top terminal is being relocated. I do know that the area in question had orange survey tape and markings in the final days of the ski season.

I think it is going in the area vaguely dug out in that video. The top terminal is suppose to be a garage like Jordan, so it has to have a full foundation set in. The rock is likely blasting work to allow that and any of the old rock built ramp from the outgoing quad moved out of the way.

I had heard they were going to sell or auction the chairs off.. but haven’t heard anything. Did this happen, or is it still supposed to? Just curious if anyone here has intel.

Last I heard, the whole thing was going to the same scrap dealer (chairs included). I'd have been among those interested in acquiring one otherwise.

That stinks.. many people would have paid a pretty price for them I’m sure. On the last day Barker ran and they were handing out koozies I asked about the chairs. They very assuredly told me they were going to be doing something with them and to watch my email. But they had also said it would be relatively soon after, like the next few weeks or so, and it’s been quite awhile longer than that now obviously.
