Interesting. Some info doesnt match up. 89 at northstar is off by a lot. Comstock is the only quad from that year, and the gondola has the wrong vertical. I also like how squaw had 2 yans and 3 pomas in '89

They put a tram down for the city of Tacoma, I have no clue where this is or what it is... anyone have any clues?

Interesting.

DV's snowflake double chair (93 CTEC) has a 40HP engine. The lift has 58 chairs over 7 towers with I-beams for crossarms, presumable to match with the parallel Yan double (Burns 1981 original lift) which has crossarms without anything else.

Squaw builds many lifts "in house". Two YAN's were built by Squaw. Only one served new terrain.

I believe that might be a maintenance tram servicing a water reservoir for the city.

[Bill]

Ryan B - That could be correct since the City of Tacoma operates 5 hydro dams in the region and also has two reservoir's for water. So it could be on one of those.

[KZ]

The YAN at squaw that opened new terrain was silverado, correct? Or it could have been granite chief. The double must have been bailey's beach or east broadway. Do you know what lifts they were ryan?

[vancouverguy]

I think Silverado is a CTEC lift, Granite Chief must be the one that opened new terrain.

[KZ]

No, Silverado is a Yan FG triple. Squaw told me it was built in 1993, but im not sure anymore. They may have opened that and Broken Arrow in 89.

also squaw has no fg lifts by CTEC

[vancouverguy]

I guess you're right, that's a Yan lift.

Bill- I believe the tram you mention is over on the Peninsula, around the Skokomish River somewhere. I know it is a Poma, because Mike Wiese (a Poma service rep) was over there this past spring and told me about it. He's not familiar with Washington, however, and didn't know exactly where it was. Apparently the City of Tacoma pays one or two operators to run it for dam maintenance, and POA does all the maintenance on the lift itself.

[Bill]

I may have to go find that lift and snap some pictures. Hey John, with that new digital camera, are you gonna get us some good lift pictures at Copper? Seeing that you are an insider. :)
