This Borvig double connects the lower base area with the top of the mountain.Tower 13.Upper part of the lift line.Tower with a newer lifting frame.Lower part of the lift line.The top terminal.Side view of the return terminal.Towers 1 and 2.Lift overview.Compact drive terminal.
I know this does not have anything to do with the lift, but in the 8th photo on the left there is an F150 Tonka truck, (the big yellow one). They’re really rare and liftblog was the last place i though id see one.
My most favorite lift here by far and what are the odds of a double being the fastest lift? It’s extremely difficult to get off the lift, especially with two people. They gotta fix that as well as the footrests because I can’t put my skis or board on it. Glad they’re opening the lift more often it seems?
After some deliberation, I believe this is also the oldest unaltered Borvig chair, and possibly lift(?), still in operation. The chair at Thunder ridge listed as a 1963 build is actually a used install using various parts, the ones at Bromley sit abandoned, and most of the rest of Borvigs 60’s installs were at MC which have all been removed
This lift when running is faster then any of the other lifts here….I’m not sure of the line speed but it’s fast when loading….that’s for sure….

100% ride this lift all day when it’s running. I measured it at 440 fpm but it seriously feels much faster
