Tuesday I took my final ride on the Lenawee Mountain Triple Chairlift. We ran the lift for Ski Patrol and Lift Operations so they could complete what we call "Breakdown" (not the Tom Petty song). The crew pulls all the pads, signs, ropes and other equipment and puts the gear away for the summer. On Wednesday the Leitner Poma group and our Lift Maintenance team starting taking chairs off old Lenawee.
Installing Lenawee back in 2001 was a fun and big project for us. It was the first new lift installed at A-Basin since 1978. At the time it was a major upgrade for A-Basin. Up to that point it was also the biggest construction job I had ever been Project Manager for. Good times. I can't wait to ride the Lenawee Express.
