Like many of Sugar Mountain’s early lifts, Easy Street was continually upgraded to the point it is almost no longer a Hall.New CTEC Sprint terminal.New CTEC chairs.The towers are original Hall.View down the lift line.Breakover towers.The Hall terminal was sawed apart and welded onto a CTEC Intrepid base.Leaving the bottom station.Tower 3.Middle part of the lift line.T11.Arriving at the return.
I actually discovered most of this lift today on the side of an upper trail at Berkshire East, Catamount’s sister mountain. Components that were there included the motor room (including both the main and auxiliary motor as well as the gearbox and most of the electronics), a few towers, structural components of the drive and return terminals, control pedestals, a wooden crate labelled “seat pads” and lots of sheaves and assemblies. Notably absent were both bullwheels, the haul rope, and the chairs. Interestingly there were also some galvanized terminal structure tubes that likely did not come from this lift as well as what appears to be part of an old tension carriage with concrete wheels (see right side of first photo). Curious as to what BEast’s plans for this lift are.
Chances are Sugar used a crate they already had on hand when they sent this stuff north. They build two lifts right after this was removed. The SAA number on the crate references a Doppelmayr build number.
Catamount Ski resort is interested in the chairs

Hey Mark, I’m not certain but I heard this whole lift was sold to some place in New Jersey.
