This Riblet double was relocated to Steeplechase, potentially from Snowmass, Colorado.Top station with hydraulic tensioning.Bottom station.Lift line near the bottom of Lift 2.Drive station which was probably a vault setup at its previous location.Tower.Upper station overview.View down the line.A Hall tower with Riblet sheaves.Loading area.Unloading ramp.
Interesting combo. Riblet sheaves, clips, and terminals; Heron tower structures; Riblet baskets (chair seats) mounted on Heron chair bails; two Hall half-towers; and one custom-looking half-tower.
Judging by photos on Steeplechase’s social media, this lift has reopened as of this season. However, it’s hard to tell from the photos if the lift was repainted or not. Assuming it hasn’t, this may be the rustiest operating lift out there, unless there’s one I’m forgetting.

I take it the light side is not supposed to be that low and the hall tower is just missing one of its crossarms?
