This lift pairs a new Skytrac drive terminal with used parts from a CTEC formerly at Lake Compounce amusement park in Connecticut.Only one tower on the lift is from Skytrac.View back down the steep upper lift line.CTEC tower.Orion fixed return.Top station overview.Middle section of the line.View up the middle part of the line.This lift originally utilized a Sprint drive-tension station.Lift overview.Drive station with Chairkit loading conveyor.View up the line near the base.Newly-galvanized tower 4.Monarch drive-tension station.
I remember reading somewhere that Pats Peak has the old Exhibition quad from Holimont in storage. The lift from Lake Compounce was short about 20 chairs so it would make sense that this lift was essentially built out of two lifts.
I can only think of two other theme-park lifts relocated to ski areas. There’s the Brockton Chair at Mt. Seymour, originally installed in 1972 at PNE Playland, relocated to Seymour in 1985.
And then of course, Woods Valley in New York is still planning on installing the former quad from Kennywood, PA.

Why is the catwalk misaligned with the sheaves on the Skytrac tower?

one of the rare cases a lift was relocated from a non ski resort (in this case a theme park) to a ski resort. Usually it’s the other way around
wonder why Pat’s went for a new monarch terminal instead of reusing the sprint from Lake Compounce

The Sprint terminal cannot handle the load. It will probably be used on a future lift at the Peak.

that’s assuming the sprint terminal wasn’t scrapped. I wonder if they’d use it on a Valley double replacement

They have it and Valley is the current plan.

Most likely another quad

Some chairs came from the Garaventa CTEC detach at Attitash, but I do not believe that all of them did. I’ll ask the next time I’m there.

@Liftnerd CTEC fixed grip and detachable bails are not the same, they would’ve had to come from a different lift.

I heard this from the general manager.
I am not familiar with the differences between CTEC fixed grip and detach nails. What are they?
