old Z lift remained with only the Y removed. It was left to run backup but was removed for the 2012-13 season
A DOUBLE (POMA)- The original summit chair built by Poma in 1962. It was upgraded again by Poma
with new chairs and some tower/sheave modifications in the 1970's. This chair was supplemented by the
AA Snowlite Express in 1987 and initially remained for busy weekends and holidays. It was removed a few
years later. Many of the chairs can still be seen on the deck of the Base Lodge creatively recycled.
AA SNOWLIGHT EXPRESS QUAD (POMA) - This 1987 HS Quad lift replaced the original A chair also built by Poma.
It ran for many years but was starting to show its age when removed in the summer of 2010. The

both Y and Z doubles.

removed from service in the spring of 2011.

The chair mainly served racers. It was removed in 1996 and relcated to Hunter One as the G2 lift. It ran

G2 DOUBLE (POMA) - This Poma chair once was located on the face of Hunter as a mid-mountain lift
named the G double. It saw little use as the AA,B and D lifts carried the brunt of traffic, it was shortened
and relocated to Hunter One as the G2 lift. This is one of the stranger Mods I have seen using the lifts

tension end is set in a new Poma structure. It was replaced with a Magic Carpet in 2013.
