The Tennessee Creek Basin expansion opened in early 2020 with a Leitner/Skytrac T-Bar.The towers were manufactured by Skytrac while other components were fabricated in Italy by Leitner.This was one of the first lifts to utilize Skytrac and Leitner components following the acquisition of the former by the latter.Lower part of the line.View up the track.Lift overview.Bottom shack and terminal.Tower 4.Top drive/tension station.T10.A Leitner T.View down at tower 7.Tower 5.Looking up the line.There are a number of places where skiers are permitted to cross the track.Tower 2.Leitner return terminal.Notice the low voltage controls are Skytrac.Return terminal.View back down the line.The last two towers before the unload point.Downhill end of the top terminal.Unloading area.
Interesting how the ladders are rotated 90 degrees from the tower. It makes sense considering the tilt of the towers, but it’s still really interesting.
The lift is named after Joe ‘Little Horse’ Romero, who was our welder/machinist at Copper for a long time and spent his weekends teaching skiing at Cooper.
The sheave assemblies are the only part from Italy used on the towers, the tower heads and walkways came from SLC
