So thats all. I have more if you really want them.

This season my search for the hs yan chairs will begin, and i really want to find a hs yan grip. They had over 200 yan chairs, and i kinda doubt every last chair has been shipped off after seeing some other booth creek boneyards

Wow, it is really a shame that Yan went out of business. Just look at the plethora of designs at that resort alone! I don't believe I have seen some of those configurations before. Who knows what sort of odd lift he might have made next.

By the way, do you happen to have a pic of the lift line of Easy Rider?

:kewlpics: Assome pics Zack! :photo: :thumbup:

Yea I wish Yan was still in business too. Yan had a lot of cool designs but there were some things that kind of looked to cheap to me like the operator booths I guess. But those in that picture of Nob Hill, I like that style booth rather than the standard square black box.

I think all the HSQs had that booth, and some of the later FGs too.

Interesting drive terminal design on some of those yans. Sorta like an Alpha

Looks like a lot of snow at Sierra. The towers on Puma look rusted.

Thats the color of the tower. When you ride up west bowl, puma really blends in well. There was a lot of snow, but they have some huge rocks, and most were barely covered. And to think i thought they were moguls

You got good pics of the terminals, you just need better ones of the lift lines.

Um, that wasn't fighting, CAski was just making a comment that the last time Zack went to Sierra, he got more pictures of the terminals than the lines, and that he wanted to see more pictures of the Sierra lift lines

Ok, i got a few more terminals, and not much lift lines. Its kind of hard right now becasue the stuff under the lifts is all rock. When we get more snow, ill get the pics.

I also found the boneyard today :)
