| In the early 1980’s, Keystone was looking to drastically upgrade their lift system as well as expand the area. In 1983, Yan won the contract to engineer and install three new lifts at Keystone. During this time period, Yan was noted as one of the most innovative lift engineers in the USA. His company, after all, brought bullwheel loading chairlifts to Colorado during the 1970’s.Prior to 1984, Lift Engineering (Yan) had not constructed any gondolas. The Keystone Project was considered a prototype. The project was scheduled to be completed by early November but construction fell well behind. After the lift began service, the area’s maintenance department noticed many non-critical operation glitches with the new lift.After the failure of the Teller lift in 1985, Keystone’s management decided to close the gondola halfway through the season. The resort cited the lift was unreliable and a liability to operate. Workers noticed unusual wearing of the detachable grips, which worried outside engineers. The final decision was to remove the entire system the following summer and replace it with a Von Roll gondola.The decision to remove the lift upset Lift Engineering as the firm lost 800,000 dollars on the project because of development costs. |
