It’s a shame they destroyed a beautiful trail to place this chairlift. The Aspen Nature Loop had some of the most mature Aspens with a lush and biodiverse forest floor.

I believe this is the first Skytrac I’ve seen with padded backrests. Are there any others?

Appears the return station is in the same location. Nice little lift and should keep a lot more folks away from Hart Prairie

The lift was originally the Agassiz double and was installed in 1961.

Yeah, likely scrapped or parted out 1500ft length, old, really no demand for these anymore.
