    This chair was originally a double chair. It was upgraded in the 1990s to a Triple with excess chairs from the Lost Lake Triple (former Super Squaw Triple, Replaced With the squaw one Express) when it was moved to Silverado. In addition, the terminals must have been upgraded as well, Likley earlier (Clearly the drive and return aren’t original).

      Silverado came from Lost Lake, not from Super Squaw.

    When Squaw One was put in Super Squaw became Lost Lake replacing Cornice One. Then of course later Lost Lake became Silvy.

    This lift was upgraded with hydraulic tensioning within the last few years, the old counterweight tube is actually still there lol

    Those look like 80s doppelmayr towers. Can someone confirm that?

      Original Yan towers with lifting frames and partial catwalks added. The original ‘stirrups’ (where we can stand to work on the assembly) with integrated A-frame (portable lifting gantry) attach points are still on the towers.
