    Owners renaming a ski resort after themselves is never a good sign. Example: Burke, VT.

    Got to love the prestine Von Roll VR 101 at the Minnesota State Fair… The cleanest Detachable monocable. And it’s almost 60. Long live the 1st generation of detachable.

    pleased that the Tulsa Skyride might just live on even if in Iraq. vs being scrapped.

      It won’t be the first North American lift to live on in the Middle East.

      Sunshine Village’s original VonRoll Gondola now lives on in Tehran, Iran. Same with parts of the old Yan detachables of Lake Louise and Silver Star.

        Also, though it’s not the Middle East, the old Funnel Riblet double from Snowmass, CO is operating in Pakistan.
