I don't know if this has been posted before, but there is a fabulous fb page with posts from lifties. I found it when I was trying to learn more about lifts to deal with my fear of GP's chair 5. I don't seem to be able to link to the Facebook group, but you should be able to find it by...

It's just going to suck. It's raining at my house. With the temperature drop, there is going to be lots of ice. Time to bring the spikes back into play. My driveway will turn into a luge run.

It took me an hour to get home, which is normally 20 minutes.

Thanks, everyone for the info. It is really helpful! Meanwhile, where was everyone today? Even with the race on Odyssey, I never waited in line. The conditions were great and the sun was out this morning!

-17 at my house this morning. But, the sun was out, the water in the barn worked and my car started. :)

It takes on a whole other meaning for horses, and a lot more work. They need to be outside moving around, and will be fine in subzero Temps as long as there is no wind, and they have lots of hay and water. However, with the windchill as cold as it is supposed to be, mine will be inside, with...

Thank you. This is huge. Any idea what the make of the chair is?

I have seen that video. :( So, there is a normal stop, backed up by an ebrake? And, then maybe that foot or so of sliding backwards on chair 5 should not be as terrifying?

Talk to me about the e-brake, please. This actually is helpful. I can't find much on line about how ski lifts work.

That's what I tell myself. I also drive a car daily. But, nope, that stop scares me. I grab the safety bar every time. After the last stop yesterday, my leg was shaking because I was that scared. I love the chair 5 vibe. I wish that I wasn't so scared by the chair. I have been trying to find...

Do you know why the chair rolls back as it does? It has always done that. I didn't used to get so scared until the time that they had to evac, followed closely by being on the chair when it did roll back.

I spent a couple of hours at chair 5. The skiing was great. That chair scares the absolute shit out of me when it stops. It rolls back a bit and bounces. Not fun.

I was just thinking about you yesterday, WD. Thanks for the update and keeping rocking it!

It blows my mind that some places don't get lake effect. I think that I have had ten inches of LE this week, and it is still snowing. Weird.

I need to be retired. @Harvey. I rolled into the parking lot at 10:15, which was fairly empty. I got a bit spooked by chair 2 stopping. It was stopped when I got there. The liftie at the bottom said that the guy at the top hadn't stopped it, and that it had just randomly stopped earlier in the...

Congratulations, Harvey! It seems like most of the retired people I know are having a good time. I have yet to meet one who misses going to work every day. Have fun!

I got hit with the Christmas flu, and finally am coming out of it. At least most of my downtime was during the warmup. I took four runs down the bunny slope yesterday, then came home and slept. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by how good things were on the bunny slope after the warmup...

8 Inches and still snowing, 25 minutes from GP.

Hyland Hill Snow Cam is back in action!
