    The reason why the trees get white isn't from snowfall, it's mostly ice buildup from the very humid clouds when it's cold enough. It's called rime ice, and will also affect lift equipment. It does have the appearance of snow, hence why trees like this are called snow ghosts. The reason this only happens at Whitefish and other resorts in the region (such as Big White) is because the region is overcast and foggy quite often. Big White is notorious for this, they call it "The Big Whiteout". At the summit above the treeline, it's impossible to see anything, it's like being in the matrix.

The WORLD'S LONGEST. the new North Side 8 will be the longest eight place in the world and crown Big Sky as the only North American resort with two eight places and three bubble D-Lines. The latest-generation Doppleymare lift will run at seven meters per second, reducing ride time out of Madison base by 30 percent. this ambitious project, which will feature 80 chairs and 30 towers along an approximately 8,700 foot alignment. In addition to now-standard Big Sky features of Ultra Blue Bubbles, a loading conveyor and a 5 ring direct drive, Madison 8 will also feature automatic lowering/locking lap bars and the United States’ first Fatzer Performa-DT haul rope for a smoother ride. Chairs will be parked inside both terminals at night rather than a separate parking building, another first for Big Sky. This is actually defiantly insane now Knowing that Big Sky will Operate 5 Bubble lifts and 5 D-lines which we’re counting One & Only and a state of the art Two 75 Passenger Arial Trams will solidify Big Sky as Truly The Americas Matterhorn Along With The Most technological Advanced Chairlift System In ALL Of North America.

    Nice to see a old chairlift refurbished and get a second life after serving skiers. I suspect this lift was probably relocated from a ski area in the northeast due to how many Mueller lifts were built there back in the day. Also noticed a small scale drop tower at 1:02. It's not as intimidating as the ones i've encountered (and ridden) but hey at least the zoo offers more than just animal exhibits.
