I did take that picture - that was 4 days before opening.

What was problematic with yan lifts ?

grips on the hs, and bullwheels on the fg

Allan, i saw that picture in the red mtn foto gallery.

I found the foundations of a yan hsq, but have yet to find the chairs

the new look of the Bottom Yancake terminal on Mile 1@ panoama

Interesting.

not the nicest yancake ive seen

I thought it was a doppelmayr High-Speed Quad

Yes Eric you're right. The mile one express at panorama is definately not a YAN. It's a doppelmayr!

But why the bottom terminal looks like a yancake

Hm...odd.. <_< Are you sure that isn't a Yancake with CTEC chairs?

it is a former yan HSQ that has been retrofitted with leintner chairs and grips

I will ask the Administrator of the alpinforum.com. His grandpa just sold the resort to Intrawest, and he was at the resort this summer so he should know.

I would be mad if my grandpa sold a resort when you it could have been handed down to you in the future. But they did get a lifetime season pass.

That's still a pretty good deal

Here's a picture of superstar express @ Killington.
A Yan retrofit by poma.

Next weekend I'm planning to go to killington. I 'll take a lot of pictures of the yan chairlifts.

Cool. That one at pamorama is a yancake that has been retrofitted

Look at this! This is a pic form the admin of the alpinforum. He send me this image (Danke Flo!):



So it is a Doppelmayr!

This HSQ must have gone in 1984 then or 85, because they switched chair carriers in 86.

Interesting...so it's not a Yancake? Maybe a custom terminal like the Skyliner Express at Mt Bachelor (I think thats the one)

Well the Skyliner Express isn't a custom terminal, the Jersey Cream express has the same style terminal as the Skyliner.
