Yan tri-leg tension return terminal.Lower station with Yan operator house.View up the line.Lower lift line.Upper line.Another view of the line.Top terminal with Yan motor room.Looking down from the summit.This lift was relocated from Deer Valley and its old name still lives as of 2016.
Lifting frames are original but sheaves are not – Sterling had the original black aluminum sheaves. Those sheaves came from somewhere else in the Yan parts bin. The original also had the Yan integrated counterweight tower.
Why would they replace this newer lift instead of the Bridger Double? That makes no sense. Was something wrong with the Triple? Could they no longer source parts for the old Yan?
