Does anyone happen to know if the current Franz triple at Whistler is the former triple chair from Pikes Peak Ski Area in Colorado?
I know that when the Franz chairlift was originally installed at Whistler, it was the Peak Lift. However, the Peak Lift was never included in SAM's 1986 Lift Installation Survey. Another reason why I believe that the Franz chairlift might be the old Pikes Peak triple is because the Alpha terminal design had already been out for two years, so why use the 1982 terminal design on a lift that was built in 1986. Brad C (CoSkiBum) and I are trying to figure this out.
For those who don't know about Pikes Peak, it's a lost ski area in Colorado.

Reliable sources tell me that the Peak chair was indeed the old Pikes Peak lift.
