The bottom terminal settled upon the lakebed, and the lift was partially dissassembled. However, most of the towers (and maybe the top terminal?) remain standing. Here’s a pic when the lift was in operation:
And if you look closely through the forest on the right in this picture, you can see a CTEC tower through the woods:
Why didn’t they try to relocate what was left of the CTEC to supplement the main lift? The drive should be fine and I’m sure Skytrac could help with some of the relocation. Is Whitecap hurting for money?
What happens to the triple?

I found a few more photos of the abandoned top terminal of the CTEC on Google Maps.

I just emailed Whitecap Mountains, asking them about the CTEC. Here’s what they responded:
Hello Wyatt,
The CTEC lift has not been operational for about18 years. We are looking at potentially reopening it sometime in the future.
Thank you,
Whitecap Mountains Resort
