well I just looked at the details of the “easy street” lift and it says that it was built in 1988 and it was remove in 2025 and that was when this lift was put in and it looked exactly the same so I think that this lift was relocated and before it was easy street and if it was built in 1988 and a normal (not a summer lift not running unusual hours or under a lot of stres)fixed grip lift will usually run for 50 to 60 years so this lift probably has another 20 years on it.(https://liftblog.com/ski-santa-fe-nm/)
This is its first relocation, with how simple this lift is it could last quite awhile 20 to 30 years would not be out of possibility. The original lift was twice as long so there are likely extra grips and chairs, most of the line gear is supported by LPOA so there is not much to go wrong.
Yes, this did operate as Easy Street at Ski Santa Fe. I’d say that 20 years is a good prediction, maybe even more if they maintain it good. What’s crazy is that Easy Street got replaced by another re-used lift, which used to be Santa Fe Super Chief in the alignment right next door to Easy Street.

Looks nice! How long do relocated lifts this age typically last until they need a replacement?
