There was some confusion at the start of the 2008-09 season. It looked like the tower was not going to be operational that season. This was proven to be wrong.

The tower was visited during the 2011 FLO end-of-season-get-together in May that year. Photos taken and suplied by Andre Belterman

The tower had the cabin replaced in 2013. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you can supply any photos of the new cabin.
