Here's another one:
The Climax T-Bar at the ski area of the same name was moved to Ski Cooper in the early 60s after the entire town of Climax was moved (to Leadville; you can still rent apartments that used to be part of the town). I don't know where at Cooper the lift went, but I'm guessing it ran where the Piney lift is today.

They took off the Bubbles when relocating the Tremblant Express
I am pretty sure that the "Summit Quad" used to be where the TGV lift is
Also, a ski instructor at Tremblant told me that they moved the old Flying Mile triple chair to become the Porte Du Soleil lift.

I think that the East river lift was the old Keytone lift at CB.

Did anyone mention the Crystal fixed quad that went to Loup Loup?
Also, Mt Pilchuck had 3 lifts (2 installed and one purchased and stored but never installed. Anyone know where they went? Scrap? There may be an old double chair installed at Meany Ski area soon to replace their very long rope tow. I'd guess it will most likely come from the scrap heap at Snoqualmie.

Yes, Bill and I both mentioned old Midway.
Pilchuck's lifts went to various places for spare parts. Apparently Crystal bought some, being as they had (at the time) four lifts of almost identical vintage. It would be interesting to find out if any of those parts went on old chair 2, and thence to Antelope Butte when they bought the lift...
When I was still at Baker we were negotiating with the Meany Ski Area to sell them our soon-to-be-removed C-5, but they wanted a donation. The board members who were willing to pay for it were voted down by those who weren't, and we weren't willing to give away a perfectly good lift for free.

As I was talking to a Lift Mechanic at Jackson Hole he mentioned that there was a Riblet lift named Crystal Springs at Jackson that was removed and sold to a little resort. BTW he also mentioned that Jackson bought a Poma Alpha FG lift that they bought to replace the Crystal Springs lift but they never installed it does anyone have any info on that lift?

Anyone have any idea if the Sun Up Lift was relocated from Beaver Creek as well? It seems to be a relocated as it is the older style. If so which lift was it at Beaver Creek?

Aren't Chair 17 and Sun Up the same lift? Here's what I know about the back bowl lifts: Chair 5 went in in the 60s as one of Vail's original lifts, and chairs 21, 17, and 36 were added in that order. 21 is the Orient Express, and 36 is the Tea Cup lift; 17 is in Sun Up bowl, thus it must be the Sun Up lift. Does that sound right? Unless it's 5, whose name I forget.

Does anyone know if the original lift 5 was a riblet as the other original lifts at Vail were? Also does anyone know when it was replaced with the current dopp?
Also what were the improvements that Yan put into the sourdough?

The lift purchased for Crystal Springs was the Eskimo Lift from Winter Park.
This was a YAN triple converted with Poma line gear and a bunch of other mods.
We took it down and sold it to JH years ago. Still sittin' in a field in Alpine, WY.
Any offers?
