Here are some pictures from the road of the second lift Ski Hesperus plans to install. It is a Riblet from Aspen Highlands. Sorry I couldn't get closer, there were some farmers watching me on the other property.

since this is a relocation, they will have to bring the lift up to current codes, right? what sort of work/parts would that require the old riblet?

Skiing could be the greatest sport ever... besides girls. There both up there.

If I am not mistaken this chair is fairly rescent, I think it was the last riblet installed at Aspen Highlands so that would make it mid 80's? If so there shouldn't be too much in the way of upgrades needed would there?

Usually upgrades are more electrical than mechanical. Riblet's mechanical design hasn't changed a great deal since way back in the day, so there isn't much to do there.

Which lift was this one when it was at the Highlands?

Skiing since 1977, snowboarding since 1989
