    Sad to see this lift in such bad condition.

      I guess I’m not sure where you’re seeing ‘bad condition’ here? Looks like a pretty standard-condition lift to me.

    You’re right, it looks fairly standard. Though it does look like one of the windows on the Alpha terminal is broken. Still no reason for me to write off a lift as “bad”…

      Yeah. Those windows are difficult to replace in the summer, let alone in cold temps when the lift is operating. I’d guess they replaced it the following off-season.

        It’s been completely repainted, windows and all.

    In picture 3, if you look behind the bottom terminal you can see the old lift line of one of the Mueller doubles that used to be here.
