I also presume that you can even order the L-P terminals over in Europe to North America if you wish.

Are there many of the alphas that have the drive at the base like the Coney Glade at Snowmass? It looks kinda wierd compared to the others that I've seen.
Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.

Apparently management reversed their decision because not only is the lift not in running condition, it's not even on this year's trail map. But as I said in that post you quoted, lift maintenance was told last season to bring the lift back up to speed. Who knows. Eskimo has never had that big of a line when I've been there, and Outrigger is kind of unnecessary at this point.
Discovery could be an original install; Heron went out of business in the early 80s and that may have been their last lift. The bottom terminal (which I forgot to photograph ) is a Heron modified with hydraulic tension and Yan depression sheaves.

I thought that Heron went out of business in the late '70s. Wasn't that why copper had to have Yan reengineer and install pitchfork, the old molly hogan?

The falcon/alpha lift design was their high speed lift. But once they compacted it into an improved terminal, there became no need for the expanded terminal.

Isn't it odd that "politics" is made up of the word "poli" meaning many, and "tics" meaning blood-sucking creatures?

No, Copper had Yan do the redesign because they were already there building A-lift. We have service bulletins (for lifts we no longer have- go figure) from the Heron-Wright Company dated June 1981, so they were around at least that long.
