So they discarded the one non faulty component in a Yan detachable? I don’t see why the lift shacks needed replacement. If Sun Valley did the retrofit, why didn’t Silver Star? Does the frame of the lift shack make any difference on the controls?
Just making it more egregious is the fact that Lake Louise repurposed Top of the World’s Yan lift shacks when they replaced it with a high speed six pack.
But I’m guessing that in Silver Star’s case, they decided they wanted everything to be all-new for Comet and Powder Gulch.
Are there any pictures of the Yan midstation? That sounds unique and interesting.

I sure hope so. I imagine it looks like a pancake but without the curved end.

Looks like Blue was relocated to Skiland in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Is it possible that Blue and Yellow were renamed to Aberdeen and Vance Creek from the 1980s until 1991? https://skimap.org/data/44/3052/1524943858.jpg

It seems that in their boneyard, they have 2 Yan detachable shacks sitting there, rotting away.
