To go along with ADA, you will often see Cabins discribed as “LWI” which stands for “Level Walk In”. This means that the floor of the load platform and the floor of the Cabin are at the same level going through the terminals.👍
Garaventa AK grips. Standard issue on Garaventa and Garaventa/CTEC lifts from the late 80s to the late 90s until they introduced the coil spring grips seen on the Lionshead gondola and the sixpacks at Stratton.

Does anyone know the grips used on this lift? I thought it was the DS grips but it doesn’t really look like those.

They look like Garaventa grips. Same as other mid-90s Garaventa/CTEC detaches.

This lift is fairly short for gondola or chondola.

You’d hate this one :) https://www.seilbahntechnik.net/en/lifts/18279/datas.htm And unlike the Telluride chondola it isn’t even meant to cater to foot traffic.

Is this the first chondola in North America?

Why wouldn’t they just make all of the cabins CWA? They would definitely have enough money to do it.

Cool that they put a gondola cabin at the top of the carpet lift.
