This is the oldest remaining lift at Loveland.It crosses under Chair 2.Drive/tension station from below.Another view of the first two towers.Motor room and loading area.Side view of the drive.View up the lift line.Upper lift line.Nearing the summit.Arriving up top.Fixed return bullwheel.Line overview.Lower lift line.
As far as I’m aware, there aren’t any plans to replace this at the moment. A replacement is probably coming sometime, but there’s no news I’ve heard regarding when.
I remember when this was the newest lift at Loveland. I believe there was a T-bar in the lower part of its alignment, but I could be confusing that with another area.
I think I remember it because it struck terror in my 8-year-old heart (along with the T-bars at Eldora, Berthoud, Squaw Pass, Cooper, etc.). Not easy to ride those things with a partner who’s a foot or two taller than you.
actually this is the oldest remaining running lift. Lift 5 is the oldest lift at Loveland but has not run in awhile. (2001)

Is there any more information about when this will be replaced? I can’t really find any information anywhere except from a long time ago.

Based off of a comment under 2023 new lifts it looks like its supposed to be replaced with a LPA Triple in 2023.

No, you’re correct. I’ve seen photos of an orange Constam t-bar in that alignment.
