The Marte Lift, Las Lenas Early Sept 2001. They said it snowed 9 meters the night before we showed up. The resort was closed for about 10 days prior do to the storm. They had to dig out the lift at the top bowl! We needed a snorkel all week. Ignore the dates on the pics they are wrong. You can see the bottom half of the lift behind us in the last pic, it puts it into perspective.
Is that jason in the last pix lower right hand side?Quote:

Bunny hill lift at Sundown. Not the most stellar lift there but I really like the mid-western sunset.

Nostalgia = Old P-dog chair at the Bird late 70's to mid 80's, pre brutal grooming, (they winch silverfox now ferchrissakes). It was almost an event unto itself while the rest fought for pow--bump skier ruled on Peruvian. Stu O'Brien (RIP buddy), Jonjo and Christy too, Dean the Machine J-Dog (how many patrollers ski bumps all day on days off?), GE Joe and Cubby, (aka superchunk), The Wilson girls from the Steakpit, Jen was often with Greta("Liners" is keeping Stu company) later on a teenage chick named Ulmer showed up and willed herself into a world class bump skier...Rick Shaner, Mikey Grey, Timmy the bump fag. Alison Brown...
...the list goes on the chair is gone and who hung the rubber chicken from tower 4 every time there was a bump contest?
any day it runs is good enough for me:

It will be a sad day if the master development plan ever gets the funding it needs. It may improve flow, but fuck is this building nostalgic

wow, it's very nice to open this topic. I was born and grew up in a tropical country, where i just see snow on TV or through pic like that. It's a chance for me to open my eyes when i join access this forum .
That was such an insane lift:
http://www.trincerone.com/archive/al...-rossa-alt.jpg
The old guy that ran it had hands that looked like wood burls. It creaked and moaned as you rode it. An looking up at the icefalls above you one the traverse (The Balma?): they don't make skiing like that anywhere but Yurp.
not an engineering marvel or spectacular. However the Mt Eyak chair in the winter of 2011-2012 needs a place here.

Ah yes Skyline lift at Vail. My buddy has a pic of this too but his includes about 100 people in line with their phone out taking pictures of this guy. I heard Vail hooked him up for his troubles...
Or maybe he just sued their pants off for a nice chunk of change
