This is the oldest lift at Northstar, built in 1979.Fixed-return top bullwheel.Upper lift line with half tower.Half towers.Upper part of the line with many half towers.Lower part of the line.Lower station and tower 1.Drive station with upgraded hydraulic tensioning.Loading area.
I visited the resort this year, and they just ditched rendezvous for the whole season. Since comstock got an upgrade, I think Northstar will remove rendezvous since it has no big purpose other than being a backup lift if comstock gets too crowded on peak days or if comstock is broken.

It generally runs only on weekends and peak days. Everything this serves can be accessed from Comstock, but on busy days Comstock has long lines.

I would assume not anytime soon. All of this lift’s terrain is served by Comstock, which was just replaced
