It’s a Heron. I have one in my yard. First 6 chairs at Heavenly were all Heron doubles. Ridge was #3 and was the last of those 6 originals to be replaced, way back in 2003.
And I have the spoked counterweight sheave that was on top of the tower pictured in my yard.
Ridge and Canyon were both replaced with a DPM Detachable Quad.
Installed in 1960, removed in 2003. There is NOT a direct replacement for this chair, although most terrain can be accessed from Canyon, all from Sky. From 1960 until 1964, when Sky was installed, this lift was the top of the mountain. The lift line cut is still clearly visible 20 years later.
Are those yan chairs or heron ones?

Ridge and Canyon shared a common tower, Ridge passed under. I do have a photo I can pass on to Peter.
