Why did Telluride choose to go with the spacejet terminal vs the Uni G since the Uni G came out in the 2000s? The spacejet quads look really antiquated vs the Uni g.
I think the early UNI-G lifts were mostly 6 persons and I don’t believe many resorts started going with UNI-G lifts until at least 2006 at the latest. Most Doppelmayer lifts that were not spacejets in that era were pre merger Garaventa CTEC Stealth series.
One interesting thing I noticed with this lift is that the bottom terminal is primarily light grey while the edges of the terminal are dark gray while the top station is completely light gray. I wonder why that is?

Weird to think that this is the first new high speed lift at Telluride since the batch of Spacejet quads that were built for the 2001 expansion.
