What is the only Leitner-Poma lift ever to be removed/relocated?

What kind of lift is it? Detachable or fixed grip?

I know of several relocated Pomas, but the latest one is that quad from Tamarack.

There is only one Leitner-Poma (post-2001 merger) lift that has been moved. All three of Tamarack's L-P lifts remain.

Tomayto, tomahto :) Guess I need to work on a lift newer than 1998 to know the difference (aside from the nameplate).

I'll narrow it down...original and new location are both in Eastern Canada.

Ontario, Quebec, or one of the other provinces?

Bits of one of Tremblant's chairs went to Marble Mountain in Newfoundland. Both had fire damage.
Don't forget Harmony went form Whistler to Blackcomb.

But Harmony was built in 1994.

Both Harmony and TGV were pre merge. I spent 10 minutes looking through SAM surveys, but nothing jumped off the page as I'm not familiar with the region. I consider myself stumped.

Here's the answer: L-P built a new quad in 2002 at Cedar Highlands, Ontario. The area closed a few years later. The quad was sold to the London Ski Club and was installed at Boler Mountain in 2011 where it is called Jack's Elevation Station.

I don't think either of those are very well-known ski areas....

Since I am an Ontario skier and know lots of people around all the Ontario ski areas, i suppose I could have solved it if I had put my mind to it. I see that the Cedar Highlands chair is in the 2002 Install list, and I knew that Cedar Highlands closed for good , sometime in the last decade. Peripherally I knew that Boler Mountain installed a "new to them" quad back in 2011. In my mind I just did not ask what happened to the Cedar Highlands lifts, and where did Boler get the "new to them" chairlift from. Nice question. glad to see that the lift did not sit for very long before it got recycled.

It's been awhile since we couldn't get one. Congrats to all but especially Peter for the question.

agreed. I was actually guessing a high speed but I doubted a ski area would get rid of a high speed in less than 15 years.
