If memory serves, they were flown with tie-down cables attached. The ground crew would hook thise to stakes, and level the tiwer according to how the surveyor directed them. Only after that would they pour concrete. In later years the base stubs were installed roughly the same, then once the concrete was cured the towers were flown in and attached to the stubs with levelling bolts.
Wait does this loft rarely operate?
And do you need to pay to get up the lift since there is no lodge and it doesn’t seem like there is any ski patrol.
I’m guessing Peter walked around and took these photos on a day before or after the ski season. As far as I’m aware, Anthony Lakes has been a ski area that’s been around for a while! It’s known for amazing snow.
Since it is a small ski area, the lodge is pretty small and hard to see from the photos.
There isn’t any toll to pay to get up there, I’ve been up there before. Only time ya pay is if you buy a ticket to ski there and ride the lift.

I’m curious how Riblet erects their towers. Seems like it would be a hard job to fly in towers and mount them at such high angles.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single Riblet tower that wasn’t perpendicular to the slope, regardless of slope angle.

Unless you want to count East Peak triple chair and Snoqualmie. Although it is a Riblet, when they reinstalled it it was done in house

But the original installation as the Silver Fir Triple had the towers angled.
