I’ve noticed on early 80’s/90’s trail maps, the Buckeye Platter is listed as a T-Bar. Did the Piney T-Bar move to the front of the mountain when it was replaced with the Triple Chair?
I'm still on the search for a used detachable to cover 1200' vert over a ~5300' run. If anyone's looking to offload something along those lines, let me know!
It wouldn’t be this year. They’d have to get a bunch of work done and refurbish the new used lift. If they can get one this summer I’d expect it next year. Interesting news, though.

Here’s your three-year-later reply- yes, the former Piney T-bar moved to become Buckeye in ’83, and they converted it to a platter in ’93-94-ish.

So… seems like they’re looking to put a detachable up the frontside as early as this year?

Some of these old detachables Vail Resorts is replacing this year could find new life at a hill like this.

Vail tends to keep their lifts, but Comstock and Silverlode are both very close to that 1200′ vertical over 5300′ mark.
