Since a few years, Lake Louise post on their trail map that they will add terrain on the backside of the mountain. There called Ridchardson & Wolverine area. I already heared that they would relocate the old top of the world quad (yan hsq) on wolverine and build a leitner-poma hsq for richardson. I'm not sure of anything

Any one has an idea :)

Sounds pretty good. Have they released any info on the gondola?

I don't know about reusing that Yan HSQ, because in SAM magazine, they said that the HSS used as many parts from the old terminal as possible. I just think it will be hard to base Yan structure terminal parts.

That would be cool if they reused the yan hsq.

Maybe they will move friendly giant out there :)

[edmontonguy]

i bet they'd use the towers but add leintner or poma terminals

[KZ]

yea probably, but it would be cool

Lake Louise has our old Carpenter Yan HSQ. Everything but the towers

[SkiBachelor]

TR said it was scrapped.

[KZ]

wow, thats interesting. They must have plans to reuse it if they took it off your hands.

[lastchair_44]

I think they bought it from us after we retro'd over to CTEC. So it is probably in operation right now.

What's in Operation. Friendly Giant and Top of the World were both installed by YAN in like 1990 or something. There's a right up in SAM. I just don't understand why they don't reuse the Top of the World chair when they replaced it with the Six pack.

[KZ]

maybe when they did the overhaul of Friendly Giant, they used a lot of parts off of that lift or something.

Is LL planning to use Carpenter for anything, like a new installation, or are they just using the old parts from DV? They don't have the towers, they're still in use on the current Carpenter Express HSQ at DV, which is a 1996-97 installation

[SkiBachelor]

What's strange about this is that each Yan terminal for their HSQ is different. A lot had to do with the vertical when the lift would leave. LL already has the Yan towers from when they replaced the Top Of The World HSQ with the Six-Pack.

Did Lake Louise purchased the 2 lift engineering (YAN) from D.V. ?

No, on the installation pages I posted it says that LL bought two Yan HSQ's the same year. DV only has one YAN HSQ.

[Eric]

Do you have any links ??

Thats a funny name for Lake Louise ... skiing louise

[lastchair_44]

Wait...we don't have any Yan HSQ's anymore. I was told by an old timer that Lake Louise bought Carpenter from us when we retro'd to a CTEC. A couple of our lifts still have Yan towers but CTEC tower heads. Silver Lake Express, Quincy, Homestake...and Carpenter has Yan towers/towerheads with CTEC line gear.

[floridaskier]

The old Quincy triple chair had Yan towers (presumably from the old Wasatch lift) with CTEC tower heads too, minus the catwalks in front. The lift now resides as The Canyons' Day Break lift, a lift which I have never seen anybody else ever ride.
