These photos were taken as this lift was about to be retired in place of a Leitner-Poma bubble six place chair.Side view of the bottom terminal.This lift was moved to South Ridge.Riding up the line.Arriving at the Alpha drive station.Top station with bullwheel unloading.Lift line seen from Snowshed.View down the upper line.Another section of the line.Upper line view.First tower with a mix of old Poma and newer Poma parts.
On Snowdon, the lift had 17 towers. Highest numbered tower was 15, but there was also a tower 7a and 9a. These were both Yan tubes rather than Poma 60’s style tubes. Normally towers with a letter were added after the original build of the lift, but I’m not sure if that was the case here. On South Ridge, there are 14 towers and the Yan tubes are on 5 and 10. All towers received new Leitner-Poma base plates during the relocation. Chair spacing looks the same as on Snowdon, but the lift is shorter so there are fewer chairs. There were 158 chairs on Snowdon and there are 134 on South Ridge. The Yan hanger arms were replaced with new Leitner-Poma ones for the relocation.
Been on it a few times. Definitely slow and the top terminal is loud. It needed to get replaced. Due to the capacity and people, I would’ve had it replaced by a high speed quad not a six pack. Happy its still at the resort even though I never see it running when I go

The Snowdon triple The new version of the Snowdon quad actually is the longest chairlift at Killington And that one has 194 chairs did you know that?

The Yan return and hanger arms actually came from when Yan modified the Snowdon Double, which was Poma. That’s where the 60’s Poma towers came from.
