This CTEC quad chair services the northernmost trails at Spirit Mountain.Lift overview.The lift line.Tri leg drive terminal.Tower 2.Looking up the line.Breakover towers.Orion top terminal.Looking down from the summit.
Fascinating history on this one and the original Spirit Express! Based on your pics, it appears the CTEC chair bales/seats were put back on this lift and reunited with the original hanger arms when the original Borvig/Leitner Spirit Express was replaced by the Leitner-Poma Spirit Express II. Is that correct? That would have happened after the aforementioned thread from skilifts.org.

That drive terminal looks like a tri legged gemini terminal. BTW whats up with the weird hanger arms?

It has to do with this once being a bubble chair. There is lots more to the story here: http://www.skilifts.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=4280&view=findpost&p=55159

They have their own “timber twister” which is basically an automatic alpine slide on the other end of the ski area, so it must be for something else

I am a local and have never heard of the big air chair having bubble chairs. Does anyone have any pictures?
