This borvig could probably win the slowest and lowest chair awards. it is essentially a surface lift up to the first tower.

The CTEC triple chair. This lift has different sheave trains than any other CTEC I have ever seen although I do not have a pic of those.

an old T-bar tower. It looks Hall and was likely replaced by the triple.

For the one that you see two things wrong with, one of them might be the fact that there doesn't appear to be a stop gate. What else do you see that I don't?
could it be the lift shack looks more like an out house than a lift shack?

That gnarly run, is it grenoble? It has to be one of the frontside blacks. Did you ski any of the double blacks? I've always wanted to go back and ski the double blacks, but they've been closed when I've been there.

Yea I didn't see an op in there either. Maybe there is another set of controls in the quad lift shack? I don't know. The borvig (and all of the other lifts for that matter) are extremely slow. Even slower than beginner lifts at other hills for that matter. So really there is little chance of falling while unloading.

Was the triple multi colors when you were there? It was black while all of the other lifts were green. I am just wondering if it was originally a black lift or if it was green at one time like the others.
Yes that run is grenoble. It is a very fun run. The double blacks on the eagles nest side of the hill were not open because of snowmaking. I have never seen anyone else make snow on runs that likely cant be groomed. but there was enough snow to ski them and we did poach two of them. seeing as there is no ski patrol.

I was referring to how the terminal appears to be pulled forward. notice how the terminal towers are leaning forward. I am having trouble believing that they were installed that way.

I have seen other terminals with forward leaning legs if that is what you are refering to.
Further more, if the legs were that out of wack even the worst mechanic (and or a brain dead manager) out there would not let that lift run. I hope.
