Pic one: Red Lady, formerly Keystone, on the left, Silver Queen on the right. Red Lady is a 1997 Omega with TB grips, Silver Queen is a 1989-1992 (I'm not certain which) Competition.

Pic two: top of Paradise, a 1994 Omega (the first of its kind, I believe)

Pic three: the brand-spankin' new North Face lift, a Doppelmayr T-bar.

Pic four: North Face liftline.

Teocalli was also open, but that was it. The North Face t-bar was being used for control work, and not open to the public. I'm hoping to go back later and see what else is up- the Butte seems like a fun place.

I think the wood panel stuff is ugly. Why do resorts over here gotta copy the resorts over in europe?

wait, i thought it was a leitner-poma t-bar???

On the L-P installation sheet, it says it is a Leitner T-Bar.

My mistake. I've never seen a Leitner T-bar. I assumed it was a Doppelmayr because it didn't look like a Poma.
I kind of like the wood paneling. The old turquoise sheet metal is fading, especially on the top of Paradise where it is exposed, and it looks uglier than the wood. Yes, it can be painted, but as you can see in the photo, getting to it isn't easy.

was the new quad chair open yet?

[liftmech]

Negative. It looked like Twister would open up soon, and perhaps Printer Boy as well, but I couldn't see any other activity on that side.
