Peter is having the summer trip to the U.P. that I can’t have this year. That said, these lifts look like they need repainting. Pine Mountain’s Riblets used to be orange, and the photos look like they have fresh brown paint on them.
I can never confirm nor deny I am still terrified of the Rocket chair at Marquette. If my memory is correct, it runs pretty fast. The ride up to the summit is lonely because most skiers use the midstation unload.
Per an archived version of Marquette Mountain’s webpage from 2006, Snowfield was fully installed by then, so the install year should be 2006 instead of 2007. I couldn’t tell if they had to fully remove the previous double chair in order to install it, so I can’t speak to the 2007 removal.

The Snowfield triple chair runs in a slightly different alignment to the skier’s left than the previous double chair did.
