If you look closely at the pic in the gallery you can see the big ram on the front leg of the term. It's on the downhill side. The terminal & tower #1 are adjustable.

You're right. Most at Mammoth are adjustable

Many such terminals were manufactured by Yan. The earlier ones, 1976 - 1980, were lifted by hydraulics - later (like in this one) massive screw jacks were used inside each support column.
The scheme was used for both drive and return terminals. Pretty neat arrangement, really.

that is a neat system indeed! Eagle at Badger Pass was built in 1986 and it's raised by hydraulics. Cool process and doesn't take long at all. I will miss running that lift!
