Also, the owner of Mission Ridge wanted to reuse the old tower ladders from the Riblet on the new ones and they look pretty funky and don't fit that well either.

Also, Mission Ridge has made no plans to built a carrier parking rail during high winds yet, although Craig Loop has suggested it. It's pretty much the same setup as the former Summit Express at WP, with it being a top drive and using both the old portal towers.

I have another question, Is the lift going to use those 6-spoke sheave trains. (At least I thought the summit express used those.)
BTW The coney glade lift uses only one tire turn around. The bottom terminal has a cadence chain where as the summit doesn't. I always thought that the lift was cool because of that which is why I am dissapointed that they are planning to remove it.

No- we're getting a new one because Fanny Hill's old setup was different than the Flyer's.

Summit was retrofitted with solid-hub 450mm sheaves. The older spoked 420mm ones wear out faster (at least this is what the guys at WP told me) because they weren't originnaly desined for the higher-speed applications. Any new sheaves that Mission has to buy will also be the 450 style.

i for one am so stoked to see Mission Ridge get this lift in. Such a major undertaking for a 'little' ski area that gets 100-125,000 skiers a year. Hopefully the lift and snowmaking will break this area into a major washington player as everyone has hoped it would for ten years. I remember the fifteen minute ride on the old chair 2 and getting off to really thin snowpack compared to neighbour Stevens Pass.

what about the engines to drive this lift in its new location? any upgrades to that equipment? this sounds like it is longer and more vertical rise at Mission than when it was at White Pass?
did they say how much this chair purchase and install is costing Mission?

The HSQ that Mission Ridge bought was from Winter Park and not White Pass.
As for the price, I didn't feel like asking Craig that since that's personal information. The entire project though with snow making and the new lift is supposed to cost $2.5 million.
