Yan bottom terminal.Tension terminal from above.Riding up.Tower 12.Top terminal with cell site on the roof.Yan motor room.Another view of the top.View down line.Lower lift line.Upper line.Lower terminal and towers 1-2.
The top terminal and probably chairs came from the original Carpenter triple. The counterweight bottom terminal of Carpenter was used for Crown Point (which got a new top). I think Crown Point got chairs 1-55 of Carpenter (as it uses the Yan plastic tab numbers), Viking got 30 of them, and Red Cloud got the rest (as it uses aftermarket number stickers). Both must have new towerheads, as Carpenter didn’t have lifting frames.
This has an enclosure around the bottom terminal that I haven’t seen anywhere else (except Quincy when it was a triple chair next door, later removed at The Canyons). Looks like it’s meant to match Viking next door and the high speed quads.
This didn’t get new towerheads, but rather new lifting frames. If you look at the ends of the crossarms by the assemblies, you can see the ‘stirrups’ for the mechanic to put his or her feet in while sitting, and the tabs to bolt the A-frame on (the portable lifting gantry we use on lifts without permanent ones).
The tower tubes aren’t even from Carpenter so the whole tower, lifting frames included came from another lift.
Carpenter Express has the original tubes from the triple.
Also, the cell site is TMobile if anyone cares, and has different antennas on it now that support 5G. The cell sites on top of Crown Point and the lift shack of Empire are TMobile too. Pretty cool to see them on top. Anyone know of other lifts with cell sites? There’s a bunch with in-resort little antennas on them, but actual cell sites I don’t know of any outside of these 3.

The enclosure is meant to emulate Yan’s minimalist high speed quad design.

This definitely was the old carpenter triple. If you look at a ski map from 1989 and then one from 1990 the only lift replaced was carpenter. https://skimap.org/data/223/2200/1450287845.jpeg

Like this lift on quieter day. However the footrests are a pain. Would like them to get new footrests. Any reason to the name?
