Glädjande!Skistar verkar ha ändrat sig om Valborg, de kör åtminstone 1000m och Kabinbanan, bra jobbat!
Doppelmayr detachable D-Line has a feature that is designed for exactly what you’re talking about: "running the bare haul rope during storms to keep the icing down.". The feature is called “Night Drive Cycle”, and allows for the haul rope to operate overnight at 1.0 meters per second without any chairs on the line. It can only be turned on or off from a key that powers on the lift up in the mornings. It's been part of D-Line since 2015.
