In 2013, Vail built three new lifts at Mt. Brighton in partnership with Doppelmayr.This one has new terminals but used towers and chairs from another Vail mountain.View down from the summit.Lift line.Tower 1.Looking up the line.Doppelmayr Eco drive.Loading area and drive station.Leaving the bottom terminal.The last two towers.Tension return bullwheel.
The towers on this and Chair 4 were from the defunct Mountaintop Express. During the relocation from Vail, additional horizontal bars were added on the lifting frames so that the towers could be used to mount lights for night skiing.
Silly question, but figured I should ask to confirm – are the Doppelmayr hanger arms designed to handle either a fixed grip or a detachable grip, or did they need to be custom-modified?

Yep, the remnants of Chair 4 Mountaintop Express live here, at least the towers and chairs.
