    This video (if the link worked) from 2010 suggests that the 2 leitners were already installed at that time, and the tbar removed

    The T-bar seems to have ended partway up the mountain. They once used it for tubing, though that is now the beginner area.

      If one checks the list of maps at https://skimap.org/skiareas/view/118#maps-year-1990s, the 1990 map shows the t-bar going all the way up. But in the later maps (2000 is the next available one) the t-bar only goes halfway up. Additionally, there is a survey in the lodge for a platter lift, dated 1992 and stamped with BM lifts livery, it also lists only 5 towers adn the sheave specs looks suspiciously like what a 1960s hall would. I reckon they probably hired BM to shorten the t-bar after they added a proper chairlift on the same slope.
