For those interested in viewing the 1967 Lift Installation Survey, here it is:

I didn't know that Yellow and Blue at Mt. Hood Meadows were the same year and that old. Where would the old T-bar of been? Does anyone know the names of the Snoqualme lifts put in then?

Is it nitpicky to say that Alpental's chairs had no names when they were built, only numbers? For instance, Chair 1 became Debbie's Gold after Ms Armstrong won her medal, which wasn't until much later. The unnamed lift would be chair 3, and 4 wasn't built until several years later.

The list is also missing the Dino from Hyak (installed '64) and the Thunderbird double at The Summit.

I also noticed on Bill's master "removed" list it does not show earlier removed lifts such as the Ski Acres single chair lift, or the Poma from Hyak that ran just left of where the Keechelus lift is located (FWIW).

I always include the most recent names of lifts to limit confusion.

As the for the Dino lift, it's on the 1964 Survey, listed as being built by Wilamette, which was M-Latta before the name change:

As for the single at Ski Acres and Poma at Hyak, they're on the Snoqualmie page. I never broke down the removed lifts by ski area since all four have been merged together. Plus, I get people saying, you didn't list this lift, but never told me what ski area it was removed from. The Thunderbird lift is also listed.

Ok, my misunderstanding. I thought the '67 list was a listing for lifts that were in service as of 1967 and not what was installed in '67.
As for the Hyak Poma?? You have listed Upper Poma and Lower Poma, is the Hyak one suppose to be one of those? Also the Dinosaur lift was never actually named that, it was always Chair 1. People called it the Dinosaur chair because that was the name of the ski run that went under it on the front side(FWIW).

I think when you rename areas, or lump them all together it makes the lists confusing. If you listed the names and areas as they were at install or removal it would make more sense IMO, but its your list.

Just my 3 cents.
