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