Midstation and upper lift line.Drive terminal with RFID gates.View up the line.Doppelmayr drive station.Lift line view.Top station from the tramway.View of the top towers and terminal from KT-22.Unload ramp and operator house.View down the line with a mix of Yan and Doppelmayr equipment.Mid-offload.Mid-station side view.Lower part of the line parallel with KT-22.
What confuses me is the top terminal, It is counterweight tensioned and I am pretty sure Doppelmayr was not making terminals like that in the 90s. It makes me wonder if it came from another lift from somewhere else?
The implication though is that the parts for this lift came from elsewhere, I don’t know what lift they would be from but I doubt they were built new by yan.
Exactly. This is the best place to hide on a busy weekend day or holiday. It’s kinda peaceful. Schimmelpefennig bowl (probably botched the spelling) is a really fun spot to hang out.

What is that drive terminal design? I think it’s a Doppelmayr design but I’m not sure what it is. This is one of those cool Franken-Lifts.

It’s a yan drive.

It’s a Doppelmayr drive that they tried to make it look like yan so it can fit on the yan terminal mast.

That’s a Yan. Silverado’s is just like that (just with a top drive as well), as is Belmont’s.

There’s a tower – turned – lightpole in that picture! Where did it come from?

judging by the old trailmap:
looks like a tower from the links lift

Both terminals and the towers are yan. Some of the sheaves might also be but I’m not 100% on that.

Highlander has this same top terminal design.

This lift doesn’t run much, does it just run on crowded days is it a reliever lift for KT22 or why?

mostly runs for the ski team I think

It also allows you to access Olympic Lady without taking KT-22 or the gondola. What confuses me is the midstation. Is it basically just for racers?

Red Dog does the same I suppose but it can get lines sometimes also.

A bit short of a lift in my opinion, KT-22 is way too crowded so this may be a relief.

I wonder where the parts for this lift came from. It is clearly made from parts of some lifts replaced before 1993
