    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.

      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.

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

    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.

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

        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.
