This ski area received one of the very first Alpen Star quad chairs in 2017.Short lift line with night lighting.Drive terminal.Loading area.Upper part of the lift line.The top terminal.Unloading area.Side view of the top station.Lower lift line.Lift overview.
I’m not sure where on Tremblant the double would’ve come from. Doesn’t match all the old Poma doubles that were replaced in the 80’s to 90’s. For that matter, I also still don’t know who the manufacturer could be.
Looking at historical satellite images, it actually looks like the top terminal was a classic Poma “floating bullwheel” design. The bottom also started in a shed, so it could easily be a classic Poma lift.
If I had to guess which lift at Tremblant it came from, I’d guess it to be the old Flying Mile double chair (which paralleled a fixed grip quad, replaced in 1994). Obviously the chairs and towers were upgraded.
I believe this quad actually replaced an older BM Lifts double (with CTEC chairs), not a Skyway T-Bar.

According to this website, the Skyway T-Bar was installed in 1974. It was replaced in 1994 with a double chairlift relocated from Tremblant.
