Bottom tension terminal.Portal tower.Looking up from the base.Top drive station.Looking down the line.Yan top terminal.Breakover towers near the summit.Looking down line.Yan tower with Doppelmayr combo assembly.View up the line.This terminal was originally located further downhill.
After Cold Springs next year, I think this is the next lift that gets replaced at Sun Valley. Perhaps move the bottom terminal to be adjacent to Seattle Ridge to make it accessible from Roundhouse and run the liftline up Lookout Bowl. Lookout would probably be removed at the same time because it becomes unnecessary once there are a beginner and intermediate route down to the bottom terminal.
why the need for the dobbie combo assemblies?

Please don’t replace Mayday. The triple keeps the crowds away. It’s also cool.

It would be nice to see at least one fixed grip stay at Bald but if it is needed for this to be upgraded, then go for it. Keep Lookout.

If Mayday is replaced it should be a new fixed grip again, no to Detachable.
