* New area for 1980-1981 season.
† The Alpine Bowl lift at Alpine Meadows was modified by Lift
Engineering, but it's unclear if that upgrade made the lift a new
lift.
‡There is some speculation that the Montezuma lift installed
at Keystone was never fully upgraded to a triple, instead a new drive
terminal was added. |
