I was wondering if Keystone has replaced anymore installations than the Gondola. When I rode there last spring I thought there were more modern detachables than the ones listed in the skilift.org gallery

More modern detachables? Hum.. do you realize these detachable lifts run around 6 million.. it's not like a ski resort can replace 1 every year..
Nothing is so perfectly amusing as a total change of ideas.

I think you may have mis-read his question. I read it as him wondering if our image gallery is out of date; and there are indeed more modern lifts than what we have pictures of.

I think the Gallery is correct.
The last "new" installation before the Gondola project was the replacement of Ruby Lift with the 6-pack Ruby Express......in 2000.
Relatively, the last new "lifts" built at Copper were Super Bee and Excelerator....in 1998!!!!

Actually no, all the detachable lifts there are in the skilifts gallery except the new gondola.

I thought I saw more lifts with the DT-104 grip, which led me to believe some lifts were upgraded or replaced, thats all.

Summit Express was installed in '97 and it is a HSQ DT-104
Santiago Express was installed in '98 and it is a HSQ DT-104
Anything is possible when you don't understand what you are talking about.

@102Terry, I believe you are telling us that the last time you were at Keystone was a time before the Ruby Express went in.
