Chestnut’s beginner area has two short fixed grip triples from different manufacturers.This lift is a Riblet with Heron chairs.Side view of the bottom terminal.Riding up the line.Departing the bottom terminal, which sits next to sister lift Rookie’s Ridge II.View down the line.Lift overview.
The chairs were new chairs built by superior tramway in 1986 on the heron poma . We opted to use the triple chair on this loft.
The double chairs that were on this lift were sold to the BURTON snowboard company . Riblet made a custom grip bushing to accommodate the riblet
Grip.
The chairs look nice. Would look great if they were black but they look nice. Probably some of the nicest chairs to be on a Riblet. No offense to those who love the center pole chairs. Those things hurt my back!

Were the terminals just flip-flopped (bottom became top and vice versa), or did there need to be modification by Riblet to make that swap happen?

Looks to me like Riblet chairs with just Heron hanger arms.
