anyone have any pics of this beast (besides chairlift.org) Anyone have any stories from this thing

and also has anybody else noticed how the old line for it at the northbrook station is still there and used as the skyeships gondi car park and how the rt 4 station's cafetiera/services building has old stuff from the origional gondi in it (aka the metal beams to support tracking and other lift equip.

I've got some old K brochures with pix. (Could scan them)

It cost too much money to tear down the Northbrook terminal; plus they now use it for storage of existing cars.

There's also a spool with 4 tons of original cable located near the top of Great Eastern, just off to skier's right.

It was much slower, longer, and COLD

When they ripped them down... they had a bunch of the cabins in the bear mountain parking lot. It looked like a number of them were more or less torched off the cable and dropped... they were pan cakes

If only i had my truck and license back then.... i'd have one on the back of our sunrise porch right now... only if. I dont think that would be a cumminity violation or anything, huh?

Damn... i wish i had one.... if you could even FIND one current day, it would probably cost a fortune.. . damnet damnet... damnet.

Oh yea... they did not open and close autimaticly... you were locked in and let out by an attendent with a key.

bastard...

edit: orange, yellow, or both? Can i come over and hot box one... it should only take 1/2 as long as it would to 'box' the new 8 person cabins

where did you score them, and for how much, free?
