yea, i posted that one awhile back, then allan went to big white and showed us wrong

Wow, Nice Yan HSQ

When that one was removed :( ? Why?

It was removed two summers ago and replaced with a Poma HSL, either a HSS or a HSQ at Silverstar.

Correct, both of the new poma's replaced yan hsq's. One of them had a midway unload, and now there is a t-bar in that place, the new poma doesnt go as far

I had several great pics off the SS website of those two lifts on my old computer...I'll see if I can save them later

cool

anyone have pics or know the make of olympic or eagle chairs at LL?

This came up i belive in an earlier topic. The Olympic chair is a Murray-Latta and i believe that the eagle chair is an earlier Poma.

The Eagle Chair is an early to mid 1970's Mueller double (the style of the lattice towers give its identity away) which, strangely enough, has been retrofitted as a Riblet with cable insert grips and all! Actually, Edmontonskier, you're not far off in the Poma department - the Eagle chair replaced a Poma surface lift that must have been installed when the resort was built in the 1950s. I recall it still standing (but not running) during my first visit to LL in the late 70s. Incidently, LL's Larch side was originally served by a surface Poma as well (a narrow run commemorates its memory), though this lift was removed by the time of my visit.
