Eh, it might be getting a little old, and the new gondi is going to be a bit longer. I think that it would probably be worth it to put in a new gondi, because there is probably a bit more that can be gained from it.

This may not be the right topic for this question but it is concerning Keystone lifts, so here it goes:
Does anyone know for sure what type of lift (Riblet or Heron) Argentine was before the current late 7? Yan. What made them replace the lift so soon?

All the information lists it as a Heron-Poma which would coinside with the peru, montezuma, and St. Johns. I dobut that Keystone has ever had any riblets. I have no idea why it was replaced so quickly though, possibly an allignment or major mechanical problem.

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.
"You could say that a mountain is alot like a woman, once you think you know every inch of her and you're about to dip your skis into some soft, deep powder...Bam, you've got two broken legs, cracked ribs and you pay your $20 just to let her punch your lift ticket all over again"

The old Montezuma was a Riblet double with side bar carriers and footrest. The top terminal and drive was replaced with a Yan drive the same year Erickson went in (1981ish)

The orignal Riblet Montezuma lift was one of the original lifts when Keystone opened in 1970. As far as I know it was their only Riblet if the original Argentine was a Heron-Poma.
