This lift is named for the lost ski area which once operated in this area, annexed into Montana Snowbowl in 2020.This lift formerly operated as Burlingame at Snowmass, CO.Riding up the line.While at Aspen, this lift received a Leitner-Poma drive terminal.This station is set up for hydraulic tensioning but there is also a counterweight at the bottom terminal.Alpha drive station.Breakover towers.The line is over 4,000 feet long.View down a trail which opened along with the lift.Middle part of the lift line.These towers were installed over several years.Lower lift line.Looking up the line.Counterweight at the bottom station.Side view of the return terminal.View up near the bottom station.The first pitch is the steepest.Riblet chair from Aspen with safety bar removed.Nearing the summit.View back down the lift line.The summit is named TV mountain for all the antennas nearby.
Why does every older Alpha terminal have the end caps fall off? It makes the lift look horrible and like it isn’t being taken care of. It can’t be that hard to custom fabricate a small piece of plastic to screw on and cover it, can it?
I am sorta surprised their insurance carrier has not made them put the restraint bars on this lift because as of 2017 all new lifts are required by to have them.
