lowrider Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Has anyone experienced this ? You get off the chairlift and can't move your board won't slide. Local bump installed an overpriced loading conveyor complete with heat in the new lift . Now whenever the conveyor has slush on it ,it coats the bottom of the board and on the ride up it freezes. At the top you take your board off and scrape the ice make you 300 foot descent and repeat. Does the heater really have to be on all day making slush or could it just be turned off when the conveyor is operating. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this. I consider this a good enough reason not to have a conveyor loader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastskiguy Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I think there was something about this in that movie that they play 24/7 at Sun Valley...the gal's skis iced up and she needed help from the hunky dude. I love that movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider this a good enough reason not to have a conveyor loader. My wife injured her knee when the same thing happened at our local area (she works there). It was later determined that the heater should be turned off when customers are loading. Supposedly, the heater is only to be used to prevent the carpet from freezing solid when nobody's actively using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
