Скачать или смотреть Sam’s Knob - (Snowmass, CO)

In 1966, a new area opened on Snowmass, called Sam’s Knob, and with it, a Riblet double chair. This was the top lift of a sequence of three lifts from the base, and this was the main lappable one. This system was made a little more efficient with the addition of the Fanny Hill high speed quad in 1986. But, in 1993, Snowmass decided to move Sam’s Knob a little to the right, and POMA was called to build it. This first generation Challenger lift uses Challenger terminals with the drive up top and the return at the bottom, and both are tensioned, it also uses TB-41 single position grips, Falcon chairs, Challenger sheaves, and 80s - mid 90s lifting frames. The lift is 3,973 feet long and climbs 1,212 feet at a speed of 1,000 feet per minute, and it’s powered by a 350 horsepower motor, which also sounds amazing. In this recording, the lift was going 923 fpm, which is a pretty good speed.
