    This lift looks quite out of place here.

    My husband and I rode the ski lift on our Anniversary in December in the evening and it was just magical!! To over look Colorado Springs at night and with the Zoo’s Christmas displays…. Breathtaking

    That drive looks like a doppelmayr tristar design. Is it really a Sprint model?

      Yes, that’s a Sprint. The Tristar has a UNI-G-styled motor room and beefier tubing that the tension carriage rides along.
