This lift was originally Mueller, it got upgraded with Borvig chairs and a Doppelmayr drive, not a Borvig one. That was an error. All of the Mueller and Borvig components were replaced with G-CTEC, and although some people don’t consider it a replacement of the original lift, there are no Mueller components left on it, despite that being its original manufacturer. The Borvig chairs ended up on Birdland.
This lift is currently receiving a midstation to provide beginners with easier access to the Birdland chair and to allow the main mountain to open in low snow situations (which MRG frequently sees early season) since the snowmaking pipes do not go to the top of the Sunnyside chair.
This isn’t Mueller, it’s CTEC and Borvig. I also have a few winter pictures of this if you want them.

I don’t even think there is any Borvig or Mueller left on this lift. Doppelmayr drive terminal, everything else CTEC.

Drive is Borvig. Look at chairlift.org

The drive is from 1982, and it’s Doppelmayr. http://www.newenglandskihistory.com/lifts/viewlift.php?id=133

This looks so out-of-place here, with those modern components…
