| The end is near for another vintage lift.... Stopped by Mohawk Mountain today and work has already started on the replacement of the 1961 Carlevaro Savio summit chairlift.  As of today all the chairs are off the line, completely disassembled and moved elsewhere. This lift is to be replaced by a CTEC triple that was once the North Peak lift at Loon Mountain, NH. Here's some pictures from today......... Mohawk Double Chair   Still a little snow left   Updates on progress to follow over the summer........ |

| That lift is a beauty. I hope someone bought it. The lattice towers are awesome!

| The straight pole is just a big steel tube, much easier to paint and far less surface area for corrosion. The latticework is a real pita for maintenance, plus it doesn't take as much rust to compromise a single member of the lattice or a joint/bolt/rivet as it would to actually do any damage to the big honkin' pipes, which might also be concrete-filled. (disclaimer: I don't know that as fact for ski lifts, but it's true in principle as a engineer)

| It is also much more cost-effective to manufacture a tube than all that lattice.
