Side view of the base terminal.Leaving the base terminal.Lift line.Upper lift line.Arriving at Canyons Village.Top turnaround and lift shack.View down the line with the turn.Bottom station.Top terminal in winter.Another view of the 7-11 lower station.The bend seen from above.
What I am observing about Stealth III terminals is this.
A handful of terminal backs are roughly the same as Stealth II terminal backs. They are: Quincy Express
Ruby Express
Mt Rosebrook
West Mountain
The rest of them have only straight backs
If you are confused, go to Cabriolet at Park City and Ruby Express at Deer Valley for example to compare the difference of the terminal backs.
I’ve always referred to Mt. Rosebrook Style as the Stealth III (Alternate). I believe that that skin was the alternate terminal skin, whereas the one seen on PC’s Cabriolet and Baldy at Snowbird are the standard Stealth IIIs. I could be wrong.
The different therminal contour designs (backs) are based on line gage the straight back like PC Cabriolet, Alta’s Collins are wide enough for a six, some resorts opted to to have their quads built on the wider gage for swing clearance and future upgrade reasons.
Skytrac does a ton of support for CTEC and Garaventa CTEC lifts, I would guess that the lift was due for an electrical upgrade as its a late 90s detach.
What other cabriolets are there in North America. I know of: this one, Village Cabriolet (Winter Park, CO), and Cabriolet at Tremblant, QC. Any others I missed?
Does anybody have info on these CTEC grips? I would expect a lift of this vintage to have the classic CTEC spring pack grip (unsure of the model) or possibly a DT-108. This lift (and many others such as the CTECs at Beaver Creek) appear to have a grip that looks more similar to a modern A108.
These are AK-460s. The ones you are referring to are the AK-680/681.
A good way of telling the difference between an Agmatic and an AK-400/460 is the angle of the springs (Agmatic is less steep) and if you can see the lever part of the mobile jaw (it is hidden behind the springs on the Agmatic when looking down the line, unlike these)
A104C is just the model name of the standard Agamatic grips on quads (A for Agamatic, 1 for single jaw, 04 for up to 4 passengers, and the C is kinda irrelevant but it may have been added to signify chair).

Nope, it’s from the top looking down. There aren’t any tall hotels down at the base, just a parking lot, the welcome center and 7-11.

I think it’s a first gen Agmatic grip, the current model is the second generation.

These are Agmatics. The AK-460s have the springs mounted backwards, so to speak, from these.
