I remember back in spring of 1992 when Powder Bowl and Groove where one lift. You would use Groove as it is today, but Powder Bowl was connected. The top of Powder Bowl was the return bull wheel and the Drive while is where Groove still stands today.
Groove double chair was split into two chairs (Powderbowl & Groove) the summer of 1992. They were both retro fitted into Yan triples. I started working lifts at Heavenly in Dec ’92 and remember that it was essentially a brand new lift.

What year do you estimate this lift was built/retrofitted/relocated?

The old Powderbowl triple, which was originally the other half of this chair, still operates at Echo Mountain, CO.

GOOD GRIEF- got enough sheaves on the climb out of the bottom terminal!? What were they trying to do, imitate a Riblet?

Fairly typical for a Yan of that era.Lots of tiny sheaves. https://skiliftblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/img_6042.jpg?w=1024&h=768
