Fancy. Is this part of the high speed chairs they're putting in?

Yup. Moving the king con 4 pack to replace the old two person. New six pack going in at king con.

Does that mean they are replacing the old Motherlode double with the King Con quad? Motherlode was slow, especially if it was windy.

Fun fact, the winter I worked at PCMR I spent most of the time working King Con. Also put in a fair amount of time on the Pioneer triple with some time at McConkeys and Jupiter.

I spent one day working First Time, wow was that a tiring day. I gained new appreciation for the Warren Miller bits where the lifties are throwing skis and people away from the end of the lift. Turns out that is the most effective way to get people to clear the ramp.

Exactly. Motherlode is going to be a the old King con high speed quad and King Con will be getting a new high speed sixer. Pioneer lift can be hell with how slow it is. Love those classic Warren Miller bits
