Nope, it was originally going to be a used dopp quad chair however that project never got through. But in march since near by (on the LEGENDARY Crowsnest Hwy) Gibsons Pass Ski Resort (otherwise known as E.C. Manning Park) announced they would be replacing there main lift with a brand new dopp quad chair. So im guessing Sasquatch announced it to compete with Gibsons Pass.
It was all shipped to Sasquatch in shipping containers. Who knows where it is now though. According to the RM.net forums, this lift ran quite infrequently at Solden, and looked to be in great shape for it’s age.
the triple chair ..sasquatch chair…now closed for the unforeseeable future..WTF..this hill is going down the shitter…worse and worse every year..I am a gold season pass holder..have been for many years…time to hit Manning.
A “mechanical issue with the main drive motor” according to their FB page. Not Ideal but i’m sure they’re working hard to get it going again, especially after steve ranted about it online
Wasn’t the new lift supposed to be detachable

I wish them luck on that, no ski hill needs one of their main lifts out of commission.
