Short lift overview.Drive station with small motor room.Center pole chairs were replaced with bail ones.Lower station side view.Top bullwheel.Only two towers!
Definitely the closest I’ve ever seen on any lift. It probably goes very slow. The line speed is listed as 220 which is about the speed the Little Sister Double at Loon is run at.
This chair formerly had center pole yan Chairs. It appears they have recently changed them to yan bail chairs, Likley from the Lost Dutchman chair beofemit became a Triple.
The motor rooms of Yan’s detachables look pretty similar to their lift shacks, but Im pretty sure it was a stylistic choice, i dont think they are the same fundamental structure

Looks like a sister to A-Basin’s Molly Hogan lift.

That motor room looks exactly like their doublesize lift shacks. Have any other manufactures ever use a lift shack as a motor room?

What’s the random drive unit in Pic 1?

That was the former claim jumper drive terminal from when the lift was in that spot

after looking at old ski lift.org pics and some old google maps pics I belive that that is the drive unit for the discovery chairlift. It was also a riblet yan hybrid like claimjumper but it was top drive. http://www.skilifts.org/old/images/resort_images/ca-boreal/discovery/discovery.htm

you can also see it here on google maps. I wonder why they kept it there, or if its still there. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.3351715,-120.3472374,3a,56.3y,77.24h,96.74t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1slhJuQL_VsvS5_CPBhH6P4w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

You can see the center pole chairs if you turn around.

Does anyone else think the chairs are alarmingly close to each other?

WERE close to each other. This thing was scrapped. However- it was a very slow lift on purpose, so they could get away with doing that.
