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.
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.
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 :(

I looked on Google Earth and saw something near Mountain Green in Brushy Canyon that looks like a small ski area. Does anyone know about this place?
