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
