  Malfunction of a snowmaking compressor oil cooler.

  The lift rarely ran after the YAN HSQs were installed. It was a backup lift and used on the 4 or so busiest days of the season.

What lift went from the lower station of this lift to the top of the mountain via an abandoned lift line and Mid Limelight?

  Limelight (Riblet Double) which now resides at Ski Discovery.

The replacement high speed quad starts down at the Warm Springs base, and has a 90 degree unload at the top.
