Thanks. Do you also know about the Fun Mountain Riblet? Anakeesta is just a few minutes from the bottom of the old chairlift. Did you happen to get any pictures of the bottom terminal?

Will you get Ober Gatlinburg? It has the aerial tram and some borvig centre pole quads.

Also in the Gatlinberg area is the Wears Valley Chairlift. It’s a 2012 Doppelmayr Eco-Drive quad.

I stopped by last spring. The new operators of the Harper Brothers General Store were hoping to open the lift but weren’t sure when. I’m not sure it has ever actually opened the public. The property was sold at auction in 2016.

I feel bad for that lift. The top terminal is right behind the backyard of a home

There was a second ski resort in TN called Renegade Mountain. It had an SLI double. The towers are still up on the mountain.

Lift Installation surveys also list a T-bar having been installed in 1968 along with the double.

You’re right. Here’s a map of approximately where the double and T-bar were located:

Also, I found another photo that maybe shows the top terminal of an SLI T-Bar (bottom left):

Is the T-bar still there? Are the double chair terminals up there too?

It appears parts of the chairlift and t-bar at Renegade Mountain are still up.
