The other day I was wondering what became of the former Little Chief lift from Deer Valley. Did it end up in the scrapyard, or did it find new life somewhere else? Same for Ski Team at Park City. The terminals are gone now, but the towers are still up.

Last question, where did the Short Cut lift at The Canyons come from?

I think there was a topic on this a few years ago, but a search didn't turn up anything

The first tower and the return operator house went up today moving right along will post some pictures soon

The #2 chair at Marquette Mountain was put up in 2006. It's a 1978 Riblet triple that came from Northstar. It was taken down in 2004 and was replaced by the Village Express, a Doppelmayr detachable quad. The "new" #2 chair replaced an older Riblet double.
