    Are the old counterweight cables splayed out around the end of the hydraulic ram in pic 11?

      No. They would have been removed. Those are the hoses connecting the tension pump unit to the cylinder.

    Wondering why the lift is being closed periodically ?

    This lift was relocated from another ski area in 1992, hence the vault drive and older design. It probably ran in Washington or Oregon
