Where is Lagoon’s 3-CLF Sky ride? It was built bu Roebling. The strange thing I can’t find the tensoning. Every time I ride it. I know for a fact that a lift has to have some sort of tensioning. Unless the lift is a v shape where the chair weight tensions it. The sky ride is like Park city’s Flat Iron except with no mid stations. The restraining bars also lock too.
It’s a good possibility that this lift is the old wildcat double. Here’s a picture of the lift the summer it was removed. If you look at the Mountain Green ski area on Google Earth (41°09’54.0″N 111°43’42.3″W) the bottom terminal and towers look the same.
Some of the chairs from the Wildcat double were sold off. There are a few Wildcat chairs at this rental shop in Huntsville, including a Thiokol double chair (could be the old Little Cat from Snowbasin, or Sundown from Powder). There is still a possibility that the chairlift an Mountain Green is the former Wildcat double, considering that the Wildcat double was significantly longer than the chairlift at Mountain Green.
Mountain Green/Brushy Canyon ski hill appears to be operating. Either that, or dumped a bunch of snow on their hill for no reason. The ski hill can be seen if you look east from where Trapper’s Loop intersects 226.
I am presuming that is a LCC gondola. I like the idea of it, as the traffic in the area is a mess. However, I think your bottom terminal is unfeasible as it would require crossing numerous private houses. There is an existing LCC parking lot at the intersection of UT-210/UT-209 that could more affordably be expanded, so I think the lift would start there. I also think you are overestimating the number of turns the lift would have. Every turn is an added expense, so I presume those would be kept to an absolute minimum with one probably each at Snowbird and Alta coupled with a load/unload station.
I was looking on Google Earth (again) and found a ski lift near Fairview and Mt. Pleasant. Google listed it as “old ski lift.” Does anyone have any information on this lift? It looks to be either a Hall or Thiokol. Are they operating?
Here are the coordinates if that helps: 39°34’38.0″N 111°21’43.7″W
If you type this into the Google Earth search bar, it should come up:
Too bad you could not get the Bridal Veil Falls tram it was really cool top terminal burnt down the tram has now been demolished :(

It *may* be the old Snowland ski hill that operated until 1980 or so… it certainly matches the location.

No, those towers are definitely American Cableways or Western Lift. Hjorth had very similar designs, but the towers weren’t the same.

I think that lift was made by Hunziker. It looks like the one at Mt. Rose.

The lift at Aspen Hills was relocated there in 1980. It came used from the defunct Frontierland in Wyoming, but got new tower columns. So it actually is a Hjorth, but Hjorth used Hunziker’s design for its lifts. The chairs must have been changed later as it was relocated with the original bail-style chairs: https://scontent.fscn1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/1658550_794156600612454_1432537275_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=973b4a&_nc_ohc=jtaYs2vF8yYAX_OrDUX&_nc_ht=scontent.fscn1-1.fna&oh=7704361f3b4dada9885f19c958078c65&oe=6081A834
