Arriving at the top drive station.Another view of the top station.View up from the base of the lift.Lower station at Glacier Creek.Lift overview.View back down the lower part of the line.The second of two big bowls the lift crosses.Upper bowl.Turnaround up top.Side view of the drive station at Rendezvous.Uni station.View from the summit.The upper lift line.Breakover towers at the middle of the line.Lower lift line.The first few towers.
I think this is the only lift to deal with looking shorter than it actually is when you view the map, due to its location. Though this also seems true of Catskinner.
As the sole way over to Rendezvous and Seventh Heaven from the Glacier, Excelerator, and Crystal Ridge areas, it makes sense that what would’ve been Eagle 6 will be used next year to upgrade Jersey Cream.
I’m surprised this lift is getting replaced instead of Excelerator, as that’s what feeds into Glacier Creek coming off of Excalibur. It is older so that could be part of it, but if that was the case you’d think Vail would opt to replace 7th Heaven instead (glad they didn’t tho, I love that lift).

This lift is longer than most people think. It has the whole beginning, plus the part over the ridge. It also looks small on the map

It’s all a matter of perspective.

After riding Jersey Cream I thought the same. It looks pretty short when looking at it in real life.

I’m assuming this one’s just gonna be scrapped based on its age?

Yes. Some parts to keep, but mostly scrap steel.
