HUNTER, NY

A - Katskill Flyer (Leitner-POMA) - The third lift to follow the base to summit liftline was built summer 2010.
This lift replaced the 1987 Snowlight Express which is being stored to be installed on Hunter West.


B - BROADWAY LIMITED QUAD (POMA)- a Poma quad which replaced the B double chair in 1996


C - 20TH CENTURY LIMITED QUAD (POMA)- a Poma quad installed in 1997 to replace the original C double.


F TRIPLE (POMA)- a Poma Alpha type triple which replaced the original F double in 1984.


D TRIPLE (POMA) - a Poma triple built in 1966 and upgraded in 1981 with new chair slats, return bulwheel, tower masts
and a new engine housing at the base.


E DOUBLE (HALL)- Installed in 1968 this Hall double chair services Hunter One. This is the only lift on Hunter not
manufactured by Poma.


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
original drive located at the top with a new Alpha type house up top. The original bullwheel on the return
tension end is set in a new Poma structure.


H DOUBLE (POMA)- a classic Poma double chair servicing Hunter One with its floating bullwheel intact.


FORMER LIFTS

A DOUBLE (POMA)- The original summit chair built by Poma in 1962. This chair was replaced by the
AA Snowlite Express in 1987. Many of the chairs can stil 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
chair has been stored and reconditioned. It will be installed summer 2011 on Hunter West, replacing
both Y and Z doubles.


B DOUBLE (POMA)- a classic Poma double chair was replaced in 1997 with the Broadway Limited Quad.


C DOUBLE (POMA)- Installed in 1964 and replaced in 1997 with the C Quad.


Z DOUBLE (POMA)- a Poma double chair servicing Hunter West. Notice the first tower is of 1980's Poma
vintage and was added later. The chair was removed in the spring of 2011.


Y DOUBLE (POMA)- This chair ran parallel to Z on the west side. It was slightly longer and while it
was the second chair on Hunter West it is actually an older lift. This chair once was once the
F double. It was relocated to Hunter West when the F triple was installed in 1984. the chair was
removed from service in the spring of 2011.
