Palmer is a 1996 Doppelmayr high speed quad, the second detachable lift at Timberline. It has a Uni-M bottom drive, and a Uni-S top tensioned return. During late summer (When I came here), a half mid-station on the uphill side is used for loading people back up, so they don't to have to ski back to the bottom. This is mostly utilized by ski racers, whos' courses sit only above the mid-station, and do not run top to bottom. This video, I showcase getting on said mid-station. Especially this time of year, this is the only place you can get on Palmer without taking your skis/board off and walking. When the mid-station isn't used, the cable is pulled out of it after (presumably) taking off the side panels seen in the video on this side, and routed to the upper sheaves on tower 12. Tower 15's monster combo assembly is quite flexible, and does not require any cable re-routes. People loading here is also the sole reason why everyone loading at the base of Palmer must wait every other chair.
