Скачать или смотреть Okemo, VT - South Ridge Quad B

Constructed in 1985 as Okemo's first venture into the world of Quad chairlifts, this Poma Quad chair was built to replace the two Pomalifts out of the base area (Yellow, 1955 and Blue, 1957) and to supplement the South Ridge Double (1971 Poma). This lift was further supplemented in 1990 when the second quad on South Ridge was built, replacing the South Ridge Double. The two quads were given letter names, A and B.

In 2008, an Emmegi loading and unloading carpet system was added to the lift. The unloading carpet was the first (and I believe only) of it's kind in the country. Sadly, the unloading carpet was removed and covered up in 2018, probably because too many people fell or just didn't like it in general. It also required extra staff at the top to assist people (especially beginners), which is why the A Quad usually ran midweek instead of B. Now, the operating schedule between the two lifts is very odd. Sometimes one runs all week, sometimes they alternate day by day or every other day, it just makes no sense. If you ski Okemo midweek, you really can't predict which one will be running.

This lift features Poma falcon carriers, Alpha drive and return terminals, 80s style lifting frames, and the famous spoked sheaves which make the signature squeaking sound! Note that this is the only lift on the mountain without footrests.
