It's a ski lift with a middle station, but the middle station can also be used as the top station (as seen in this video) and then he switches sit so it goes to the actual top station!

A snowmaker fan gun. 🙂

@@larsvognild5631 cool how does it make snow thank you for replying

We need cold air below freezing. High water pressure to the nozzles in the front of the gun that blow water into the air jet from the fan. Then it will snow. 🙂

The rails have a few degrees of inclination, so the chairs roll forward to the automatic loading tyres.

@@larsvognild5631 Alright, got it. So when parked, they are pushed back by their front wagons, as the most front wagon is moved by the tires and when unparking, they move forward by inclination until they reach the tires. Thank you, until today, I never understood that.

I agree, can’t wait to see the wild blue gondola at steamboat on liftblog. I thing it’s the first intermediate station d line in North America

Begge drivstasjonene har hver sin motor på 471 kW. Dimensjonert for startstrøm, samt pålasting og garasjering av stolene, hvor motorene drar tyngst i løpet av en dag. (Stoler kun på tursiden under pålasting i seksjon 2, og stoler kun på retursiden i revers under garasjering i seksjon 1.) Under drift, ligger forbruket samlet på ca 600 kW når heisen går full.

@@larsvognild5631600kw med fulle stoler?

Maybe I will do sometime. We have 7 T-barlifts and 3 platterlifts.

@@larsvognild5631 would be cool

It can happen if you drive the switchrails at a wrong time! :P Will not do! ;)

I love the winter resort too

@@olluska Hell ye :)

@@K0zMoS_000 I personally find the old lifts more interesting. There were many different roepway makers back before the end of the 1980's and their lifts were all different. Now there's just 4 global what I call a "quadropoly" and none of their lifts work any differently to each other. I've been on MANY different old ropeway systems and manufacturers over the course of a few years and I am planning to see a lot more. Old Poma, Giovanola, Staedeli, Habegger, Von Roll the almighty detachable lift inventor, Garaventa(before Devilmayr screwed them over), Heckel, Pohlig, Hasenclever, Montaz Mautino, Weber(only 2 Weber lifts remain), and so on...

@@CBF1 That is so cool to be honest. I like how we can talk about chairlifts like this I find it pretty interesting :)

@@K0zMoS_000 It's been my passion since I was 5. It's been heavenly with the old lifts, but absolutely excruciatingly painful with th modern ones. The old ones are destroyed or sold every year to be replaced by the new D-Lines and the other boring mass-produced systems from the other 3 of the quadropoly. Old lifts have ALWAYS been rare as they were not mass produced. Except for Post-1982 Poma fixed-grip chairlifts(known as "Alpha" chairlifts"). Very easy to find in French resorts. Many built, many replaced, and many still survive. I know the oldest detachable lifts in the world and have been on the oldest one(Schauinslandbahn in Germany near Freiburg). It was the precursor to the detachable lifts we know today: it attached the CABLE onto the cabins rather than the cabins speeding up and attaching onto the cable themselves like on every detachable lift after 1945 when Von Roll built the first VR101, first detachable chairlift, and first detachable single-cable ropeway ever built in Flims Laax Falera. The Schauinslandbahn is the first circulating gondola lift in the world, 93 years old and is a UNESCO heritage. It is therefore illegal to replace. Another legally protected lift is the Komari Vizka chairlift in Krupka which is now the only surviving Von Roll VR101 sideways-facing chairlift and has become the oldest single-cable detachable ropeway in history. Schauinsland is NOT a single-cable(or monocable) lift however but it is the oldest detachable lift in history. It worked completely differently to the detachable lifts we know today and have known since the first Von Roll VR101. However a 1980's restoration altered it so that it works like how all detachable lifts that we know work. Still very highly from 1930 though. The oldest detachable monocable I rode was the Westfalenpark Seilbahn in Dortmund(a 1959 Pohlig). Second oldest detachable chairlift and DMR(detachable monocable ropeway again) in the world. I know a lot about ropeways/ski lifts/cable cars and nearly all of their mechanics, more precisely the old ones as they've got mechanical difference while modern mass-produced centralized ones don't. The old ones are simpler too to be honest, and are built with longevity, quality and safety no matter how outdated they are... How else would they last so long without a single mechanical failure-related accident?

This is the next generation model from the largest manufacturer in the world, and this is the first with a midstation. The D-Line is a big improvement from the UNI-G.

oh well. the same guy who commented on TheTimmy376's video and wants to get rid of doppelmayr, leitner, poma and bartholet

@@RickRollDetector What? You think it's OK to belittle and discriminate against people who hate modern lifts just for preferring the old ones? Those companies are tyrants either way. It's my right to say what I want against the evil modern lift manufacturers who do nothing but destroy the interesting lifts and put up bland mass-produced shit in their place for the sake of more money and making people more lazy. And they come up with so many retarded reasons to enforce their destruction and they lobby governmental authorities into imposing needless and strict laws that don't need to exist in their favour. Why does there need to be so much hate against the old lifts? Why can't people appreciate that the old lifts are works of art and have mechanical differences that modern ones NEVER have? Out of all of the things that people could have so much hatred against, why old ski lifts?

Oppdal skisenter :)

It is eficcient becouse of the costs, a lot of people will ride tot the top, but the lower part could be easier for example, so ski-classes could get out there. It is way cheaper to build and run than two seperate lifts, even if the top one was smaller. Also very fast.

Guido heeling: you're right! :) Another point is that it is no natural income for slopes to the midstation due to the topography in the area and surroundings. There is no loading of passengers on the lift at the midstation. We also have the possibility to close the upper section on windy days, and only run the lower section.

It's a Bartholet.

@@larsvognild5631 MND lift ?

@@1002wjl Yes, they are the same company.

D-line is a new ropewaygeneration made by Doppelmayr. The first D-line installation was completed in 2016. Our chairlift is the first D-line installation with midstation.

Trust me, the D Line puts any lift at le Massif to shame. Ontario is getting Canadas first D-Line this Summer

@@johnsmeith3913 what hill?

@@kalafka12 Mount St Louise Moonstone. Le Massif is a way better mountain, just talking about the lifts

​@@johnsmeith3913 so what is actually better about d line for the skiier and what will we notice that is different
