This lift is scheduled to be replaced by a detachable quad sometime within the next 5 years or so. However, given that Sunnyside is also set to be replaced by a higher capacity lift, is a similar length, and is not old enough to be retired, I could see them moving Sunnyside over to replace Wildcat and installing a new lift at Sunnyside. The extra couple hundred feet in length would allow them to move the Wildcat base farther down next to Collins.
Interesting…when the current version of Collins was installed, Wildcat was shortened to move the bottom terminal further up the hill from the bottom of Collins..

Was there a power outage that day you took photos? Side view of base looks like the back-up motor is running.

Alta didn’t have any bars until around 2010, and they’ve never added them to the doubles.

With Alta building a high speed six pack to replace Sunnyside and Albion, that option might be on the table.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Yan with center bar chairs before.
