    The Tesuque Peak Platter operated to the public till about 1995 (I last used it in 93). The platter lift remained a backup and for patrol till 03 when it was removed due to unavailability of parts. Interesting note the lift was supposed to be removed when millenium lift was completed in order to maintain access to the upper mountain if the TP Triple went down….BTW the TP Triple did go down for an extended period after the Poma was gone and before the new lift was built.

    The Alpine bowl Platter also was operational in 1993 when I last used it I believe it was removed in the late 90s

      Ah it is the right one! Before being heavily modified in the mid 1960s and Easy Street & Aspen Peak!

      Photo, yes from 1951. It used to run Clockwise but ran Counterclockwise in the 1960s after it’s chairs were modified

    Here’s something you could add:

    Easy Street was originally a 1968 Miner-Denver double chair (that’s where the towers on the current one are).
    It never ran as much when the Pomalift went in (both removed in 1988).

    Here are some photos (First one is an old chair. Second is the lift in it’s old location)

    I also noticed in the Chipmunk Corner area an old Pomalift tower with a Riblet chair on it.

      Easy street was served by a fixed platter that ran right past the cat shop and the mid station of the Sierra lift there was no chair on easystreet trail till the current lift was built, the towers for the current easy street lift did come from the Aspen Peak lift which was a MD -telecar, they also used some towers for the building at the top of the quad and to support the deck at the mid lodge. The baby poma came out when new double whent in.

        The towers to the left of the chair at 8:26 in the background are from the former TTP poma lift
