I don't think so. The lift I am thinking of was removed in the nineties.

Info-- 1983 CTEC triple, fixed top drive/bottom counterweight tension. 180-ish carriers (memory's a bit fuzzy at this remove). Very dynamic carriage movement on a stop, which caused several people to panic and jump off the load board (directly on my toes, usually). Removed 1997 and stored until sent to Big Sky as the Cascade lift http://www.skilifts....ade/cascade.htm
I was the ops foreman on that lift for its last two seasons and have no photos that I can find (and I've looked).

Thanks for the anecdote.

Ha! Just looked at this and it's R (or Rendezvous) at my current place, Copper.

Me and my Copper Mountain Crew built that lift in 1982. Took a break from YAN installations and left right after Load Test to do 6 weeks of haul rope installs in the Western US and Canada
I'll find a photo of the Crew to post.
