here are some pictures from michigan. this particular resort is called Treetops. some background for treetops: The four seasons resort that is treetops started out as a small hill named sylvan nob. it started out with just a poma lift an multiple rope tows. later a poma brand double chair was added. it paralleled the original poma lift. over the years sylvan installed a golf course and changed their name to treetops. two CTEC triples were installed (to see specific dates checkout the lift insalation surveys). In the mid 90s the poma lift was removed and a Garaventa CTEC triple was installed on the old lift line. the double was left up as a backup until around 2002 when it was removed. it was not used much if at all. these first three pics are of the Garaventa CTEC triple.

these second three pictures are of the oldest CTEC triple. I can tell this because this lift has the same terminals as the other ones but it has a counterweight where as the other lifts are hydraulically tensioned. this lift may have replaced some rope tows or other surface lifts, But I can not tell you the exact type as this lift was here when i first came here to ski.

these last two are of the newer of the two CTEC triples. you can see that they started to weld catwalks to the cross arms. they did this on both of the older lifts but only the top two towers on the lift in these pics were finished. they welded brackets on most of the towers but that is as far as they got. they didn't even bother to paint over them.

Thats it for now. will get more as time goes on.
