This lift’s bottom drive station is separate from the loading area.Loading zone with portal tower.Motor room on the opposite hillside.Lift overview.Top bullwheel.Looking down the lift line.Tower #5.View up an empty line.Arriving at the return.
It’s the straps that hold the pads on the seats. Also this is the only bottom drive chairlift at Steamboat. The only other bottom drive is the platter Rough Rider.
Probably because tower 2 is part of the original bottom shack, but it’s a tiny shack (as are almost all YAN-built operator houses). They probably just wanted more space.
What are the pads hanging under the chairs for?

Why are there two operator houses at the bottom?
