This Heron triple is the oldest lift at Chestnut.Breakover towers.Upper part of the lift line.Bottom terminal.Loading and maze areas.Riding up the line.Arriving at the vault drive terminal.Top bullwheel.
The carriers look like the same design as on Rookie’s Ridge I (the Superior Tramway design that looks like a Riblet bail with Heron-style hanger arm). Is that true? Are these replacements from the original 1969 installation?
Yes.these were superior tramway chairs.built in 1986. We also used these chairs on the Rookies ridge triple. The rookies riblet was a double at Aspen highlands
