TIMBERLINE LODGE, MT HOOD, OR

PALMER EXPRESS (DOPPELMAYR) - Built in 1996, this lift replaced the original Palmer Double. The lift is placed
into hibernation each winter. The chairs are removed and the cable is lowered to a small set of sheaves located
further down the tower. This is all done as the winter snows and wind are fierce and bury the chair. The lift
has tripod towers to combat winter wind speeds. The Summit terminal is built into the mountain so terminal
equiptment remains safe. The mid-station often remains buried until summer at which time the cable is lowered
from the set of sheaves above. The mid-station allows skiers to lap the upper snowfields until late summer.

quad runs from the lodge to the Palmer Snowfield and Palmer Chair. 1955.
