Poma Lift at Suicide Six, 1953


“The T-bar and J-bar lifts were a great improvement over the simple rope tow, and after World War II, the so-called Poma Lift, first developed in Europe, became another option for ski areas. For the 1953-1954 ski season, a modern Poma lift was installed at Suicide Six, and before the days of chairlifts, it proved very popular.” Frank J. Barret, Jr.
