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Per an archived version of Marquette Mountain’s webpage from 2006, Snowfield was fully installed by then, so the install year should be 2006 instead of 2007.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.
River (formally named Supreme) was installed in 1993 and has 87 chairs.
Snowfield has 77 chairs
A Constam t-bar opened with the resort in 1957 and ran up the present day Exhibition trail. It was removed sometime between 1983-1987.
Another t-bar, installed by Hall was built shortly after, I would guess early 60’s. It was removed sometime between 1989-1993 and ran up the present day Chute trail and unloaded just below the cliff the present day Snowfield lift travels over. During low snow periods foundations from the lift are still visible.

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