1978 Lift Installation Survey Help
#1
Posted 27 August 2005 - 08:38 PM
Names:
Assiniboine, Sunshine Village - Alberta (Either gone now or is part of Sunshine Village Ski Resort {Goats Eye Area?})
Mt. Joy Ski Club, Lloydminster - Alberta
Paskapoo - Alberta
Diamond Head, Squamish - British Columbia
Garibaldi, Whistler - British Columbia (Maybe Whistler? There was a Double chair installed by Mueller with a length of 4094 ft and vertical of 881 ft)
Mt. Arrowsmith, Vancouver Island - British Columbia
Tillicum Valley, Vernon - British Columbia
I might need some help find the names of lifts tomorrow when I start that part.
Thanks again
Cameron

In reference to the CO installs for '77, is the double chair installed at Keystone the Checkerboard, Argentine, or Pack 1 (originally called "Go Devil")? And I am assuming the install at WP is the Arrow chair originally as a double? I have noticed it looks as if the sheave trains have been adjusted outward from the tower heads at some point accommodating wider chairs. Maybe they converted it the following year when the Outrigger went in.

Argentine was built in 77 as Checkerboard and Go Devil were built in 76. The 2C at Copper was "J" LIft.

While looking at the 1976 lift installation survey, Silver Star is listed as Silver Star instead of Tillicum Valley. So maybe Tillicum Valley is not Silver Star but a lost ski area? I should e-mail Silver Star to find out.

My memories of Diamond head are a bit foggy, like the weather there. The Diamond Head lift never ran. The base of the lift was near the existing highway and ther towers could be seen on the mountain from the highway. I'm not sure if the cable and carriers were ever installed. The developer of the area went broke before the area ever opened and was abandoned.

The lift at silver star built in 1976 is Blue Chair
Quote
The tram at grouse is the Red Skyride
Your header for the 1976 says 1977
Last Mountain should be changed to Crystal Mountain and on the history it says the mtn opened in 1967
The triple at red is Paradise
The T-bar at LL is now the Summit Platter, my parents remember it as a T-bar and they probably just changed carriers to platters.
Oops: Sorry SkiBachelor, typo on Blue Chair, it was built in 76 not 66 and after typing that i thought i was doing 66 so ya the Red Skyride was built in 75.
So Sorry about the mix up
