Look closely and you’ll notice the tower tubes are actually Yan ones kept from the previous triple chair.

    Are these EJ chairs? They don’t look like quad chairs on other Garaventa CTEC detaches.

      These chairs are Garaventa designed carriers that were used on Garaventa CTEC lifts and later Doppelmayr CTEC lifts until Doppelmayr discontinued Doppelmayr CTEC.

    One of the prettiest chairlift rides anywhere, if not in all of Utah. The first breakover on this lift is always such a WOW moment!

      like for example look at a contemporary Stealth III like quincy or ruby at deer valley, they seem to have a narrower line gauge

    Are the towers on this re-used from an old lift. They seem rather small compared to contemporary lifts

      Yes they were reused from the previous 3ish generations. The base/tower foundations is from the hall double then YAN built a double chair to replace the HALL double (reusing the towers with new tower heads). Then that lift got replaced by a YAN triple (reusing the tower tubes from the original hall lift in some sections).
