This is one of two new Garaventa CTEC quad chairs built on the backside of Eldora.Unload, motor room and operator house.Breakover towers.Upper lift line with chairs removed for NDT.Tower 11 with bull elk below.View down the line.Middle part of the line.Another view down the line.Tall towers.Tension return terminal.Loading area.
Eldora might find it in their best interests to rename this lift ‘Rollins’ or ‘DSL’. The lift was clearly named for the rail station at the summit of Rollins Pass.
So you are saying the beer brand should change it’s name too? lol Come on, there have been much more compelling reasons to change lift names and this ain’t one of them. In fact much like the beer I’m sure people are more apt to ride it now to say they did. Either way ridership and publicity aren’t and won’t be negatively affected by this name.

I wonder the % decrease in ridership this had in Eldora’s last few days of operations this year. LOL.

Judging by today, not much. This lift had as long of lines as Alpenglow – I waited 25 min to ride

I can’t find any official announcement, but it’s in their master plan from 2011. Page 113.
