Chair 23 can be a wild ride in the wind, a safety bar added a year or two ago helps a little. I rode it in a 70mph sustained, blowing straight up the lift line, Skiers left , wipe out 1, was amazing that day, best wind buff ever !
Scary as shit dropping in though o_O

Good lift placement makes a huge difference. I've had a few hairy rides. Once we where swinging pretty bad from the wind. The lifty was speeding it up and slowing it down to clear the towers......we swang right before one and then he'd speed it up and we swang right after it the gondola came into the guides really hard at the top. We where one of the last rides up.

I wish we'd get some snow in Maine. Been a dry winter so far. I havent skied in over 20 years and that was in Flagstaff (what a trip skiing in warm weather)
@DarkWeb you ever skiied any Maine mountains? I had a season pass close to 30years ago at Sugarloaf but friends and I preferred Squaw mountain now called Greenville mountain I think. It's a lot smaller but was way less crowded back then ( and now) and tickets were cheap. I think the lack of trails due to a triple chair being down slowly suffocated the business. They're trying to bring it back ( no help from covid) but I believe that one lift is still inoperable :cry:
