    Any word yet on where the terminals from this lift will go?

      I would think they would want to reuse the terminals as they seem in great shape, just add new towers, line, and chairs.

        At that point it would be worth getting a new lift. I could be wrong, but the terminals were sold alone.

          The terminals were once for sale on a classified site but never sold. They are being retained by Saddleback for possible future use on a replacement Sandy or elsewhere.

      Yeah, I was going to mention that too. There is no way this is over a mile long.

        4,550 feet is more like 0.86 miles.

    Hi Peter, wondering if you have any idea what style of Borvig double chairs they used on the old Rangeley Double. One of my biggest regrets is not buying one, so I’ve been looking elsewhere, but they all look different. (first world problems)

    Also, I was told the terminals were sold and going to someplace in New York? Do you know where they went? I love the D/CTEC Sprint Terminals and grew up skiing here…

    Thanks!

    That top terminal is pretty interesting, it looks like a standard Doppelmayr/CTEC terminal with Mueller sheaves.
