Eagle Crest, AK has just finished installing a new (used) beginner chair, which ended up replacing its old platter pull lift.
The used chairlift was donated by Snowmass, CO and is the former Assay Hill double (Hall).

Mountain Creek, NJ is ripping out it's Sojouran lift. The lift is a link between the two sections of the ski area. However, there is no mention of a new lift replacing the current lift. Has anyone heard if Intrawest plans on replacing the lift or will shuttle service be used instead?

Per post #64 of this thread (http://www.skilifts....indpost&p=88721) Intrawest had plans to replace it. However, Intrawest no longer owns Mountain Creek and the word is it will not be replaced.

Doppelmayr has completed a tram in Chihuahua, Mexico. Not sure whether Doppelmayr CTEC was involved or not.

Mexico’s Copper Canyon beckons thrill-seekers with a tram
At Mexican\'s Copper Canyon, a new tram started running Sept. 25, 2010.
In the Mexican state of Chihuahua, where local leaders have been trying to lure adventure travelers to the desert despite persistent drug-war troubles, many tourism officials believe their future is up in the air.
About 1,475 feet up, in fact.
That’s the altitude of a new aerial tram designed to take tourists from the rim of the region’s famed Copper Canyon down into its depths. The tramway (teleférico) opened Saturday at Divisadero, a rim-top stopping-point along the Copper Canyon rail route with commanding views of the Urique River.
The tram system and a series of new zip lines are part of the fledgling Barrancas del Cobre Adventure Park, which state officials are hoping will bring an influx of tourists. With that in mind, these officials are laying plans for a new airport in the nearby city of Creel.
The new tram system’s two red cabins (capacity: 60 passengers each) alternate traveling 1.7 miles between Divisadero, where a new restaurant features glass flooring, and a station about 1,150 feet below. The tram ride takes about eight minutes. At some points, the cabins are as much as 1,475 feet above ground.
The system was built by the Swiss-Austrian firm Doppelmayr, and state officials estimate the overall cost at $29.4 million. Passengers pay about $20 for a ride.
For an additional $48, the more adventurous can try seven new zip lines (tirolesas) that cover 1,700 feet to 3,600 feet each, ending at the lower tramway station. Mountain-bikers can also use the tram.
About 2,000 passengers rode the tram on its first day, said Sonia Estrada Morales, director of promotion for Chihuahua State Tourism Department.
Though plans for expansion and its impact on local nature and culture are still under discussion, Estrada said, tram passengers may eventually be able to transfer to several smaller gondolas (holding eight persons each) that will travel another 1.7 miles down to the river’s edge. Also on the drawing board: observation towers and a hot-springs resort.
Winning over American travelers, however, may not be easy. The state of Chihuahua, Mexico’s largest, is among those with high levels of drug-ware crime, including 1,491 drug war-related deaths in the first half of 2010, by the count of the San Diego-based Trans-Border Institute.
On the same day that the local newspaper El Diario carried word of the new cableway at Divisadero, another headline noted a controversy in the town of Ascension (about 200 miles north of Divisadero) over the recent lynching of two men after the attempted abduction of a minor.
Estrada said most of the state’s crime was in bigger cities to the north and that in the Copper Canyon area “up to this day, no visitor has been injured” in any incidents related to the drug war.
Copper Canyon is really a series of canyons about 370 miles long and 150 miles wide. The average depth is between 5,000 and 6,200 feet, and parts are deeper than the Grand Canyon.
Since the early 1960s, the main way for tourists to see the landscape has been the Chihuahua-Pacífico train (a.k.a. El Chepe, a.k.a. the Copper Canyon Railroad) that rolls between the city of Chihuahua in the north and Los Mochis, on the Pacific coast, to the south.
But in the 1990s, the area began growing as a fledgling adventure-travel destination, with mountain-bikers following old Tarahumara footpaths near the towns of Creel (on the rim) and Batopilas (at the bottom).

Anyone know where this lift is going? The links and ski area web site don't really explain.

Can anybody tell me, did the old exhibition YAN at A-Basin have a Kissling box or a 475? And what happened to the drive terminal?
Thanks Peter
Thanks Peter
It had a 475. I heard they scrapped it.

I believe it's in the general area of Backside 1 on this map...
http://www.skiwhitew...overall_000.bmp
or Backside 2 on the updated version, page 11...
http://www.skiwhitew...t_31May2010.pdf
Pretty sure that's correct, but I might be wrong since they flip-flopped 1 and 2 on the plans. At any rate they're both in the same general area.

The lift is being "replaced" by a new trail that will serve the same general purpose of connecting the two pods. It will be rough cut and sort of ready this winter, with full grading and snowmaking installation in place for next winter.

It's Backside 1 down to the access road. That is a total game changer for Whitewater. Very exciting.

The Snoqualmie triple and double chairs are not yet completed. There is no guarantee yet they will be done, but if so the earliest they would run most likely would be Feb.

Chair 12 being upgraded to a gondi? What a waste....
Beaver Creek needs to take a look at Snowbasin. Gondolas should only be used for access lifts, and chairlifts proper be used for areas with actual runs. That being said, the Strawberry Park Express lift is okay as is, and still has about 15 years of lifespan. The Centennial Express being a six pack might be useful. Perhaps they'll use the quad to replace Rose Bowl (like the way the original Centennial triple was used to create Rose Bowl).

I believe Strawberry Express is a used Doppelmayr-CTEC lift. It was originally the Timing Flats Express at Whistler-Blackcomb for the 2010 Olympics.
