Bogus Basin: Showcase

Installed in 1972 to replace the Upper Poma, this Riblet double serves as an intermediate & terrain park lift while being a reliever lift of sorts to the Deer Point Express lift. It’s a very standard 60’s/70’s Riblet double with a fixed bottom vault drive, counterweight tensioned top return, and older style bail chairs, which were replaced by its current chairs in the 90’s. The lift is not super important to Bogus’s lift system but it serves a purpose and I don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon.
