    This lift was purchased from Sun Valley and rebuilt at Eldora.

    I’m pretty sure that this was the Christmas triple when it operated at Sun Valley, as that was about the same length as the Challenge and Cannonball lifts were. However, it could’ve also been the River Run triple which was removed in 1992.

      The Christmas lift was installed at Sky Tavern Ski Area near Reno, Nevada in the 1990s, replacing a YAN double-platter called Herz (the lift runs on a different alignment than the platters).
