Quincy Express at Deer Valley, Utah

In the summer of 2004, Deer Valley had plans of installing the new Judge chairlift. However, there was a problem of where the lower terminal of the Judge lift would be located. For the lift to be successfully installed, Deer Valley had to relocate the bottom terminal of the Quincy Express about 200 feet forward. These are some pictures of the relocation of Quincy's lower terminal.

Another shot of the lower terminal. As you can see, the haul rope has been removed from the lower terminal and has been tied down to the third tower.

This is the area where the lower terminal of the Quincy Express will be relocated.

In this picture, we can see the rebar wire and it has already been laid out. The cement will be poured very soon.

This shot was taken 2 weeks later and the bottom terminal of the Quincy Express has already been relocated. However, this picture was taken 4 hours too late and it was the day when the cranes moved the lower terminal to its new location.

Here is one of the two cranes that was used to help relocate the bottom terminal of the Quincy Express.

Another overview of the base area. To the left, you can see the remains of a left over terminal support.
