There is one depression tower that really shakes the chairs and towers in the middle of the lift line. With the new quad opening soon, a possible new depress tower would also be nice, this chairlift is the oldest and needs some love!
Anyone have a video of this one? It reminds me of the buckhorn in Kimberley, same colour/chairs/everything. That one was ripped out decades ago though, and scarcely any trace of its existence remains.
How many Murray-Latta lifts are still in operation, I know there is Silver King at Whitewater, Blue at Manning, Brockton at Seymour, Red T-Bar, at Canyons and the double at Silver Summit. can anyone indicate to me if there are more?

Foundations may remain on hidden Lower Buckhorn. It is hard to tell under the snow.
