Yes, the rope tow bottom was near the old chicadee base and took you up to creek road/who dunnit. This way if you were on the cliff side/chicadee side, you didn’t have to hike up to the old Peruvian lift. Since putting in the quad the area was completely transformed making it somewhat easier to go back and forth over the creek. Still miss the tow rope though. 😁
Wow those photos have been around for awhile. I was only 3 back then. I wish i could of been around to see all of the orignal double chairs at snowbird. When I first skied at snowbird i believe the current Gad 2 was brand new.
Anyone else notice the old rope tow in the background? Look for the skier in blue behind the drive station. Second pic.

I remember that ropetow. It was for transport along the flats. I never rode it but I saw it often back when I skied the bird.

Also, if you look close on the last picture you can see the rope with the handles.
Here is a picture of the top shack behind the teardown of the old chair.
