Ok, well Mt Rose has some pictures of their lift construction, so I thought I'd sare them with all of you.

#1 is the old Zepher lift which is being moved into the Chutes area. The towers are getting a new coat of paint

#2 is the chairs from the zepher lift that were saved for the new location. The other 100 or so chairs were sold off earlier for $100 but you had to pick them up before the season ended back in april.

#3 is the terminal pieces for the new Blazing Zepher 6-pack. Apparently they managed to score some stealth terminals rather than the uni-gs.

#4 is the new tower heads for the 6-pack.

#5 is some foundation work on the new chuter lift line.

#6 is the Huey lifting a tower for the Blazing Zepher (dont you just love that name :---: )

#7 is Huey sitting and refuels among the lift parts on sunday the 25th

#8 is the completed Zepher lift line with all the towers up.

#9 is the Chuter line from the access road to the East Lodge

#10 is the chuter liftline from below

Thats all for now, if I see any more on their site, I will post them here. Props to Rose for getting a stealth rather than the Uni-GS

I believe that #8 is the Chuter and #10 is the Zephyr.

And if you care the chopper is not a huey, it is a piasecki C-21 "Flying Banana".

Sorry, their site said it was a modified huey.

They managed to score a Stealth terminal but they still get Doppelmayr towerheads.
Just like TR and James told us, after the merger we would be seeing Doppelmayr-style HSs and CTEC FGs.

[SkiBachelor]

If you look close enough at those tower heads, you will see that they are a mix of CTEC and Doppelmayr designs. I can see CTEC tower head numbers, railings, and catawalks, while the Tower head design appears to be Doppelmayr but I don't see the line equipment hooks that are seen on the side of the tower heads.

[floridaskier]

I guess the equipment hooks are the Doppelmayr style with the two rings underneath of the top crossbar, those are probably harder to see. Looks like the pivot shafts are inside the crossarm, unlike Doppelmayr's fastened to the top or bottom

[liftmech]

Towers- no Doppelmayr equipment visible. Lifting frame is CTEC, main axles are inside the box beam instead of bolted to the top or bottom, catwalks and sheaves appear to be CTEC, top of tower tube does not have Doppelmayr's triangular gussets where the cap mounting plate is welded to the tube. The towers in general look identical to the ones on Monarch's new (well, 2000) CTEC, which is the latest one I've seen around.
Apparently the website people don't know what a Huey looks like if they think that's a modified one. A huey has a single rotor with two gigantic blades and a distinctive 'whup-whup' because of it.

[floridaskier]

Are you talking about #8 or #10, John? 8 looks like a Doppelmayr lifting frame and CTEC for everything else. 10 is all CTEC

[liftmech]

Yeah, you're right. The tower in #8 has Doppelmayr rope lifting hooks on the towerhead, although you really have to squint to see them B)
