After the close of the short-lived Andes Ski Center, their Borvig double chairlift became available for purchase. In hopes of a reinstall at Simpson's, Gus and son Jay traveled to Andes for a look. This chairlift was one of the earliest manufactured by the company. Because of the design, it had been known to have counterweight problems which caused the cable to "bounce" on the sheaves. After realizing there was no practical solution to this problem, their visions of this lift at the ski area soon past. |
