I got a bunch of pictures at Snoqualmie with old ruins I thought would be interesting.
1. Old tower near Triple 60 now used for a light tower, might be part of the single.
2. This was near the first tower.

Old foundation near bottom of Triple 60. Looks like a rope tow or something of that sort.

Grrrrr! I hate seeing old lifts rot! Those lazy dorks! Is it a dead ski area? Got any more history of the place?

[Snoqualmie guy]

Old tower parts in the weeds, could it be from the old Bonanza lift? Also Looking up the old Bonanza liftline, tower is the only one left of the lift.

No this is the Summit at Snoqualmie. It is still in operation and the pictures are mostly of the single chair they used to have. It was installed in '48 (?) and has been gone for while. As for the old lift in the weeds, they will most likely be used for Central park as rails, boxes, etc...

[liftmech]

Snoqualmie and Ski Acres pulled lifts down and left them where they lay. The re-used several lift towers as light standards, especially if they already had lights on them.

[Limelight]

Are there any parts from the Alpine double laying around? I operated that lift for a year.

Here is the liftline with a few towers...

When I was at Badger taking pics last month I saw the remains of the foundation of the Riblet that used to be there. It was replaced in '86 by the Yan triple.

[Snoqualmie guy]

One or two towers of Alpine still has the sheaves on it. I've looked for the foundation, but have never found it.

[Limelight]

Yeah I used to operate both the Alpine and Bonanza lift. Would love to find an old sheave or something. Does anyone have some old pics of those lifts???

Note to people uploading files biger than 750K bytes, I use dial up to see this site. I don't even bother opening your files because your big files hang my computer (when I try to open the file, the down load time takes so long, it seems the computer is hung, and I have a fast modern computer.) Besides you are being inconsiderate of the people who pay for the hosting of this site by needlessly filling up disk space with 3 meg files when the same file could be created at a lower resolution. HINT: take the picture with your camera set to the lowest resolution possible. What you do with big pictures on disk space YOU PAY FOr, is your business. Most of us are interested in seeing your pictures, so if you want us to see, enjoy and comment, please set your camera to lowest resolution possible, before taking the pictures.

there now, I have vented. thanks for your continuing contributions. I do not represent "Management" on this site.

That's why things get archived and deleted over time. Dial up is not common anymore. If it takes too much time for your files to load, its not others being inconsiderate--actually, those people are being considerate of the people who would like to see full size images. Anyway, this is off topic so...

If you go through the weekly photo's on my site from 1998/99 I have some Bonanza/Alpine chair removal and quad install pics. This was the first year I began the weekly pic thing so the photo's are not of the best quality, and my camera was a 640-480. Here is a shot I took just before they started the removal (you can see some digging for the new quad inbetween.

yet it says max file size allowed is 300k when I upload something. I don't understand why some people can upload big files while some can't I understand your frustrations with dial up. Not all areas have hi-speed yet. It took a few years to get it in my parents' area. I use the "Save for web" option in Photoshop whenever I work with pictures.

Perhaps we need to start a new topic on this somewhere, but for now- I also use dial-up. I shrink my photos to 900x600 when I post them- you don't need Photoshop, most computers with Windows 98 or later have a basic digital photo editor on them. Considering that most monitors are still in the 1200x950 range or so- I don't think it's necessary to post large-format photos. We're not Flickr, and I don't think we need such resolution.

Now let's get back on topic.
