After 6 weeks of technicians, parts, anger and disgust (and that was just from the Operations team), the Quad Chairlift at Snow Valley is running!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Snow Valley’s High Speed Quad Chair begins running January 2, 2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the final analysis, we have to consider the strong possibility that the chairlift was struck by lighting during the summer.\u00a0 That led to a sequence of system failures that in the end led to the entire drive being sent to North Carolina two weeks ago.\u00a0 The drive is a cabinet approximately 7 feet long and slightly smaller than a standard doorway.\u00a0 It weighs in excess of 700kg and not just any FedEx truck ship it.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, our Operations team was busy doing a scheduled maintenance on the electric motor, a year earlier than warranted.<\/p>\n

Once the drive was returned, it was a matter of plugging it back in to the power supply and the motor and turning it back on.\u00a0 Then the lift was load tested and certified.<\/p>\n

What a way to start the season!<\/p>\n

Snow Valley would like to thank all season pass holders and all those who love to ride Snow Valley for their patience and support.<\/p>\n

Now, get out there and enjoy the hill!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
