Lower terminal area.Looking up the lift line.Riblet tension station with Poma-built lift house.This lift makes a turn using canted sheaves at tower 10.In the summer, a mid-station serves an alpine slide.Arriving at the top.Vault drive bullwheel.Unload ramp.
The turn is not original. The section of the lift below the turn was realigned to looker’s left to make way for the original Colorado Superchair in 1986. You can see the original alignment vs the current alignment on Google Earth.
With the lines, a detach would be dumb but a fixed grip quad would be a good idea
