Nice pictures of some vintage lifts. The quad was midway shuttle? Also an original Poma lift. Does anyone know its install year?

Was their former Riblet original or used? If original, I would guess it was around then.

I'm sorry I really no nothing about this area or its lifts. It was one of best looking areas I've seen before, very clean.

It was funny to see this here.. I just spoke to the GM of the Loup today.. she is a very nice ( and a bit overworked), but she started in Oct. and really wants to get the place fixed up.she mentioned the Poma FG was installed in 98 I believe.

Loup Loup's quad:
'88 Poma fixed grip, originally installed at Crystal Mountain (WA), removed 1998 to make way for the Chinook Express sixpack, installed at Loup Loup that same summer. Originally a top drive, bottom tension, now reversed. Originally 161 chairs, 15 towers. Not sure about current size. Ask ex-liftie about it, that was her lift for several years.

I'm surprised the new GM of the place wants it fixed up it is one of the nicest looking areas I've seen for a very long time.

I love the nice spacious work chair. Compared to others I've seen there's some space on that one!

They must have made that one, it's not the same as the one we had at Crystal.

Yeah we have an '87 Poma that came from Okemo and finally after 10 years with that thing we got a work chair for it, as well as for our '00 Poma in the beginner area. Before that we had just the one work chair that came with our detachable that we would use on all three lifts. It's nice to be able to divide and conquer a little more now, although the work chair that we got from Okemo, we decided to add to it a little in order to make it a little more user friendly. In the mean time the Okemo guys lent us one of their Alpha work chairs while we were painting towers on the detachable in order to keep work going. Thanks guys!
