Here ya go. It was called Squaw Pass Ski Area back then. It wasn’t much. There was even a closer small ski area to Denver, called Arapahoe East. (Arapahoe Basin East to some) I remember seeing the old Miner Denver lift from I-70 back in the early 90s while driving up and down I-70.

Echo is opening to the public again. Here’s to hoping for a good season for them. This is a tough area to have ski hill being lower in elevation.

Here are some of the former lifts at Echo:
Roebling T-bar built in 1961, probably fully removed in 2004.
Platter lift probably removed in 2003

The platter lift was made by Poma and was roughly 700 feet long. It was removed in 2004 along with the T-bar. The lift was called Poma.

What became of those two lifts after Echo reopened?

Scrap. The area had been abandoned for some time before it reopened as Echo in ’05. I wandered around there in ’03 and neither appeared salvageable.
