Like at many of the resorts it developed in the 1990s, Intrawest built a cabriolet gondola to connect day skier parking lots and the village core.The lower terminal with a small maintenance rail.Another view of the compact return station.The lift has only four towers and crosses over a Marriott hotel.The uphill side of the hotel.Unloading in the upper village.Tower 4.The doors open and close automatically in each station.Leaving the top terminal.Tower 3.Arriving back at the bottom.The lower station, an early Uni model.Doppelmayr Worldbook entry.Worldbook part 2.
What I always found fascinating about this lift is its use of DS grips with second generation UNI (spacejet) terminals. Flying mile, built in the same year, uses the same terminals but with DT grips.
As it turns out, Doppelmayr hadn’t yet developed DT grips for gondolas.
It was more a case of Flying Mile being one of the global launches of the DT-104. Tremblant had the Cabriolet fitted with the Uni-S/M/L terminal skins to match, but it utilizes the first gen. Uni technology.
So basically, it uses first generation technology but terminal skins similar to Super Bravo at Sugarbush? Similar to Shedhorn 4 in many ways except for the fact that it uses a UNI-G terminal skin.
It’s a standard 1994 UNI, but with the Spacejet terminal skin found on Flying Mile and 1995 installs like Super Bravo. Flying Mile built the same year was the prototype Spacejet and has DT grips.
First time ever going on a Cabriolet. Tower 2 is so high off the ground. Weird standing instead of sitting. Goes through the beautiful village. Fast too

In the worldbook photos you can clearly see that the lift pre-dated all the buildings around it.

DS-104 or 108?

DS-108. The grips are noticeably larger than the DS-104 grips on Duncan and Soleil.

Is this really the shortest detachable lift in NA?

These terminals seem so short, why would Intrawest go with them for so many over there lifts?

Seems like a regular terminal size. Besides, it’s a short lift for foot transportation.
