Amazing how a week changes things!

Was reading about it the other day. It is a new magic carpet that is under cover. They are called "Castor & Pollux". The carpets are also the fastest so far installed in France, meaning more snow time, and travelling at up to 1.2 metres per second, increasing capacity to 3,000 people per hour. The carpet lifts also run in two directions, providing a ride down when needed, as well as up over the 240m length.
