In the notes it says that this lift’s neighbor, Summit, is relocated from Sun Valley. The only retired Yan triples from Bald Mtn on Sun Valley are Exhibition & Sunnyside. Exhibition was removed when the Gondola went in, Sunnyside was removed from lack of use in 2014 and both had Doppelmayr bullwheels but neither had lifting frames. I’m going to guess that this is the actual Sun Valley relocation with added lifting frames and greatly shortened in length.
The drive bullwheel is Doppelmayr, which in addition to the older style motor room enclosure makes me believe that this is indeed the Sun Valley relocation. Look at Mayday (still operating at SV), Exhibition (now Silver Chief at Discovery MT), & compare them to this lift. You’ll see they all have squared off style enclosures, and Doppelmayr drive bullwheels. I’ve wondered if the spoked style Yan bullwheels are prond to cracking as I’ve seen several relocated Yans that have had bullwheels replaced.

The top bullwheel, the sheaves, and the lifting frames all are doppelmayr.

I honestly don’t see any Doppelmayr apart from the added lifting frames.

Any ideas where this was relocated from?
