This Stadeli was relocated from the frontside to become a new way out of the East Basin in 1993.The lift is short with just 6 towers and 37 chairs.Lattice tower.The lift line.Tower 1.Tower 2.Inside the lower terminal building.The portal tower.T4.There is no skiing allowed under the lift.Breakover towers.Arriving at the top bullwheel.Upper station.Side view of a tower.Lift overview.Another look at the drive terminal.The top station seen from above.The entire lift seen from Highline Ridge.
This lift was built out of the original lift 1 so it was install originally in 1961 though it was about 3 times longer then. I believe the spare bullwheel and gearbox seen in the back of the lift terminal came from the original lift 2
The comment about skiing under the lift is incorrect. It is the upper part of Bob’s Run. It faces due south, and rarely has good coverage. I have skied it when Taos had a huge snow year. It is a short, fun, steep little run. The line on this chair gets long, as it is the best way to lap Highline Ridge.
Not Sure Stadeli did anything on 7a, I think, they had been consolidated out of existence by the time the lift was built in this location. I’d wager that Toas’ old LM manager Walter Ruegg put the lift together

When was this lift first built (not when it was installed in this alignment)?

That portal tower looks like Stadeli used two regular lattice towers and connected their tops.
