The lower T-bar and a large part of the upper T-bar have been duplicated to double the capacity of the lifts on the field to 5000 skiers an hour. The upper T-bar was not taken to the top ridge because high winds at that height have often forced the original upper T-bar to be shut down. By shortening the new upper T-bar it is hoped to avoid such stoppages.
