The History:
HoliMont's Cascade Quad was installed in 1995 and was manufactured by Garaventa-CTEC. It replaced a 1982 Borvig double that now operates nearby as the Greer lift. By installing Cascade and relocating the old lift, it allowed them to open the new Greer Hill section of the mountain. Second to the Exhibition area, Cascade is generally the second most popular lift on the mountain and serves a variety of trails. It serves its purpose well and it seems unlikely that HoliMont will upgrade it any time soon.
The Lift:
The Cascade Quad is a pretty standard Garaventa-CTEC fixed-grip quad. It uses an Enterprise bottom drive terminal with hydraulic tensioning, CTEC quad carriers, and Garaventa lifting frames. Capacity is rated at 2,400 p/h with a design speed of 450 ft/min which it seems to run close to.
