Well its not much. These are some old (removed) lift pics I took when I was around 15 years old (I'm 32 now), so their a little old and not taken from the best spots. These pictures were taken long before any HSQs had been installed, back when the Riblets ruled the mountain........well parts of it anyway. Its mid summer so all the carriers have been removed. I know I've got more pictures, just need to find them.

Cameron, feel free to add them to the database. I'll keep looking for the rest of these pics.

This first shot is of the Warm Springs double, looking down the lift line.

Well is wasn't attached to the haulrope itself. I believe it was to act as a guide rail for the chairs as they approached the unloading ramp. This area receives a heavy cross wind during the winter months. I can remember banging along that thing during storms all the way to the ramp.

I see what you mean. I was on my laptop and I had a hard time seeing that it wasn't connected and assumed that was put on there just for the summer. But that is an interesting guide rail.
