Is the long-defunct Poma double at the old Eagle Creek ski area still standing? It was as of 2012 when ColoradoSkiHistory took their pics, but it looks very dilapidated.
Alpha was built in 1982 and has a prototype version of the Alpha terminal. Bravo is a 1982/83 Delta. Reminds me of Lift 1 at Sipapu since it has a Delta terminal as well. Charlie was built in 1959 at Stowe originally as the Mt. Mansfield double. Brought to Ski Rio in 1985/86.
Anyone know if the old poma lift at Sugarite ski area is still around, I know it was removed but it was also seen dismantled somewhere on the property.
Does anyone know what happened to the old poma lift that was at Ski Sugarite. It was last seen somewhere on the property in the early 2000s. It was dismantled in 1992 when the property sold. But I have no idea where it could be and what may have happened to it.
Cliff’s Amusement Park in Albuquerque used to have a Hopkins skyride until 2002, when they built the New Mexico Rattler, a CCI wooden coaster. The coaster feels like a jackhammer

Yes, to my knowledge it’s still standing. It came from Stowe, VT if you were curious.

Yes, as the Mt. Mansfield double from 1960.

I’m absolutely wrong about how its real condition was. It didn’t look bad, but it had been sitting abandoned for 24 years

Alpha was purchased used from Deer Park, California. It was originally installed in 1983, but relocated to Ski Rio in 1984.

Believe it or not, there were a total of 21 Riblet lifts built in my home state (New Mexico). Here’s the full amount
Angel Fire – 7
Ski Apache – 5
Red River – 4 (1975, 1977, 1979, 1992 (relocated))
(Copper was relocated from another area in 1992, due to 1960s-80s designs, and a vault drive with bullwheel unloading)
Sandia – 2 (1969 and 1979)
Pajarito – 2 (1969 and 1975/76)
Sipapu – 1
(relocated from Alpine Valley, WI. Originally built there in 1986. Sipapu got it in 2001/02)
Ski Santa Fe – 1 (built in 1975)
Ski Rio – 1 (relocated from Stowe, VT. Originally built there in 1959. Built at Ski Rio in 1985)
