Do you still have one of those Christmas Cards Emax? :)

I'll look around. I think I have the negatives somewhere.

Someone told you about those, huh? Jan never forgave me for sending them out the day before the bullwheel fell off.

EMAX,
Brain cell collision! Was that the pic of 2 "former employees" on the tower top?

Yes. There were actually six different shots - all showing "2 former employees" working in, on and around a lift - in the snow - wearing nothing but tool belts, hats and Sorrells.

Quite interesting reading back through all this. I am reminded of an applicable quote:

hhhmm, well Heather at Meadows is a Yan and was built in 96.

Sort of...relocated in '96. This YAN was the chair I learned to be a lift-op on. 1986-1987 was my first season at Mt Hood Meadows. It was originally the Hood River Meadows chair and was just over a mile long with 243 snow eatin' non-flippable chairs. It was replace with a HQS, shortened and moved to Heather Canyon in 1996. It always had one tower, about #10 or 11 that also had alignment issues, never gave us any real problems though.
