It is pretty rare to see a Doppelmayr at this age with a counterweight I do know one off hand that is another counterweight gondola that was built 97 which is Moab gondola
I have a hard time believing that the GMVS T-bar is a new installation, I have only seen that model of tension terminal on 1960s and 1970s Doppelmayr T-bars.

A counterweight on a 1987 Doppelmayr has to be pretty rare right? Seems like at that point most everything was hydraulic tensioning.

The GMVS T-bar at Sugarbush (2011) has a counterweight at the top, but it looks like a reinstall to me.
