With restraint bars in the news recently, I was thinking about which chairs at Mammoth are still without them and all I can come up with is 25. Are there any others? Going through the list in my head, I can't think of another chair. The doubles (12, 13. 14) all have them. I haven't been on 22 for a while so I can't remember but I'm inclined to think it has them. Over at June, J1 has a restraint that folds down from the center post. Maybe 25 is the only one? If I'm riding with my daughter I'll always lower the bar. When I'm riding solo, I tend to leave it up. - just realized the first photo in the article below shows 14 from back in 2011, without bars. I’ll have to check the next time I’m up to see if they added them. I know 12 & 13 have them for sure https://snowbrains.com/new-data-reveals-nearly-1-in-4-u-s-chairlifts-lack-restraint-bars/

I looked through photos from earlier this year and have one on chair 13 that shows a bar above my head. I wonder if some of the chairs are missing the bar? I also found a picture of 14 from the @mammothmountain account that shows bars in a post from 2023. I think the girl who fell off the chair was on 17. The terrain on the left kinda looks like the hump near the bottom between 16 and 17. Does it look like it could be somewhere else?

@Steve Taylor it’s still too early to tell but hopefully mid-February will bring a pattern change? Fingers crossed! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
