I rode this lift today. Although it is technically reserved for racers only, the liftie let me on with no issue. I’m glad I got to ride such a historic lift!
It is a private lift for race crews/local racer training at this point in time. Never open to the public so it kinda makes sense to remove it from the website.

Looks like some of the tower heads/sheave assemblies came from the old Mountain Poma at Burke Mountain

Pretty crazy that a 60 year old poma is still finding a use, is this the oldest lift to be relocated in the 21st century?

Yes, I’d recommend a quick search it on YouTube you haven’t already done so. Should help you visualize how it works.

In January 2025 I noticed Killington removed this lift from their website & changed the total # of lifts on the website from 22 to 21.

They use parts from SMS to maintain this.
