SILVER QUEEN GONDOLA (POMA) - Built in 1986 The gondola was rebuilt by Leitner/Poma in 2006 with
new CWA cabins and modified Drive and Return stations. The Gondola originally had Poma eggshell type
cabins where skiers would sit back to back.

Lift 1A (SLI) - Now called The Shadow Mountain lift, it was originally called lift 1A because it replaced
the original Heron single chair (Lift 1) in 1971. The lift was upgraded with Riblet sheaves and clips

Bell Mountain (Riblet/Poma) - A true frankenlift this double uses Riblet center pole carriers, drive, clips,
and sheaves paired with Poma towers and return terminal. The Poma hydraulic tension terminal and towers replaced
original Riblet equiptment 1985 and all chairs were galvanized.

F.I.S. (Leitner-Poma) - This new double replaced the former F.I.S. Riblet double in 2004.

Ruthie's (POMA) - Built in 1997 to replace the original Ruthie's Double Chair, Poma built this high speed double with triple
carriers. In order to preserve the character of the area the mountain only loads the chair as a double.

LITTLE NELL (RIBLET) - This Riblet double originaly installed in 1956 was replaced with a
Poma Quad in 1986. The lift had a capacity of 900 skiers per hour. This lift serviced
the "practice slope".

CHAIR 1 (HERON) - Originally billed as the longest chairlift in the world when opened in 1947. This picture shows
The lift as originally built. It was later re-engineered by Bob Heron with sheaves and normal grips. In 1971 the lift was
replaced with lift 1a, an SLI double that didn't go quite as high up. Lift 1a is now called the Shadow Mountain Chair.
The bottom station and towers shown in the first picture still stand today as a town park.

CHAIR 2 (RIBLET) - This chair began near the summit of Ruthie's lift and ran up to
the sundeck at Ajax. There is no longer a lift that follow this line.

CHAIR 3 (HERON) - This chair followed a similar line to the current Ajax Express. This opened up a
great deal of Aspen's high elevation terrain as skiers who went beyond the Dipsey Doodle trail no longer
had to hike back to chair 2.

FIS DOUBLE CHAIR (RIBLET) - The original FIS chair was replaced in 2004 with the current FIS Double chair.
