This T-Bar was relocated from an Eastern Canadian ski area to remote Dawson City, Yukon.The line features 9 towers and about 30 carriers.View up the middle part of the line.Lower lift line with wide tower spacing.Tower 5.T7.Breakover towers near the summit.Unloading area.Top tension station.Side view of the upper terminal.Upper station overview. No lift shack.Split tower 8.Side view of the drive.Lift overview.The line seen from the lodge.
I have been to all the public lifts. There are about 20 ski areas in the US and Canada that are either private clubs or military installations I do not have access to to photograph.
Can anyone identify the manufacturer of this contraption? I wonder if it is homemade, perhaps reusing hall or Samson towers? If this is true, I wonder if the builder modeled the drive terminal after a Mueller.
Towers look a lot like Hall or Poma, never seen a return terminal like this. Drive definitively modeled after a Mueller but the bullwheel is much smaller. idk????
shrouding might be hiding something, but the drive doesn’t appear to resemble a T-E, as they have different bullwheel and the crossmember goes the other way as per Bleu: Also, T-E split towers have different attachment points for the arms, the ones on this look more like Hall. Return terminal doesn’t look like a Timberland either, although it looks professional enough to probably not be homemade. Any idea where it came from originally? Maybe we can figure it out based on that.

This is the final one, right? You’ve now photographed every single lift in North America?

There’s one T-bar ski hill in Mexico with various urban/ scenic lifts across central America and Caribbean

I know of a dozen or so ski clubs in Ontario alone plus a few small US areas like the chairlift at Double H, NY listed but not yet photo’d.

True but both lift companies consider Mexico part of the Latin American market, totally separate from US/Canada.

Congratulations on the achievement Peter! It’s truly incredible that every lift in the whole of the US and Canada is accessible here.

Could the towers be Samson, perhaps? It was relocated from Eastern Canada.

Or Timberland-Ellicot…? Guess it is multiple pieces put together. Towers could be Samson, but not terminals…

Quite possibly.

Now, is it just me, or does this thing have Mueller grips and line equipment?

I don’t think it’s Timberland-Ellicott.

Maybe the drive is hall? It looks similar to the drive on the old E chair at Hunter Mountain but with a smaller bullwheel.
E chair’s drive:
T-bar’s drive:
You can see a few differences, but it doesn’t look too far from hall.
