That could be it too, but I thought the tower heads were black.

Paint's cheap...

The new lift at Catamount, NY is going up fast. These 2 photos are just 2 days apart.

Flying out towers for deamcatcher and a sad looking tombstone express.

Here are some pictures I took of the new aerial tram at OHSU in Portland, OR on my way up to Washington to have dinner with Bill, John and Lizz.

The Snowbird lift is coming along well. It looks like it will be a UNI-GS with a very bright color scheme.

Tombstone is looking mighty sad sitting down there in the parking lot. It looks like they're having a journal of the Dreamcatcher construction. Here's one of the towers

Is it me or is one side of snowbirds uni gs shorter than the other? Look at the trumpets and see what I mean.

never mind I opend the picture in an app with a zoom Snowbird took the picture at just the right angle to make it look that way

Here is the Huckleberry chair at Castle Mountain. Does anyone know where this used lift came from? It looks like a Doppelmayr. It was listed as being an installation on Mad River Lifts, but has since been removed. Maybe Castle Mountain did not like the work that Mad River Lifts was doing as others have had problems with them.

Looks like the Larkspur lift from the Beav.

It is old 11 from B.C. mad river did the removel and shipment. Last I heard Castle was mad about the condition of the restrant bars on the chairs, Mad River didn't remove them before shipping the chairs so most of the restraint bars got bent there may have been some other damaged or improperly packed componants too from what I had heard.

Here is the completed intermediate tower for the new tram in Portland

Big White has set up a webcam to document the construction of the new Snow Ghost Express. It is located at http://www.bigwhite....cle_ID_185.html.

Also, the Mt. Bachelor website has been down for the past week, so their webcam isn't viewable.

I hope to stop by Castle in August so I will post some more pics of the new lift.

I will be glad to see pictures, as it looks like they did a really good job refurbishing it from Beaver Creek. I like the blue color a lot.

Heres some updated pics of the Breckenridge gondola. They are planning tower instalation for August.

So whats the progres of the Sterling Express at DV? Haven't seen or heard anything in awhile

Cement has been poored for towers and stations...bottom station is going up now and I think they have a crane at the top as well. I'll try to get some photos tomorrow

Stopped by Wolf Creek on sunday they have just started the install of a DoppelmayrCTEC Uni-gs they are doing the install in house. They have removed the top terminal and line of the old double ans started on foundations of the line and top terminal. They are lucky the lift is only 10 towers long and they have good access to a chopper.

Hiked up Snowmass on monday top terminal is well started (need the drive platform and roof) they are working on the underground cabin parking. The line concrete is done whith the exception of 3-4 towers near the turn station the concret in the backround of the mid terminal colums is the foundation of the new Assay lift

Here is a pic of the new HSQ replacement for the the East River chair at Crested Butte. The picture is of the bottom terminal. The old East River chair was a long ride from what I can remember. Anyways heres the pic:
