Hmmmm. Not a Doppelmayr (your images are blurred by the stuff in your parking lot, liftmech). lol
I say Borvig...and in Michigan.

yes, part Borvig, part Leitner....
All Borvigs up until about 1991 were "part Leitner".
Since I know this one I'll drop a hint and say that skier691 recently posted pics of the new lift going in at Crystal Mountain, MI.

OK....This lift was at "The Homestead", located right on Lake Michigan near Glen Arbor, MI (Home of the Sleeping Bear Dunes). They have 3 of these lifts...all vault drives, Leitner Line equipment, featuring the not so sturdy looking but awesome orange fiberglass seat backs. Probably one of the most compact and quaint base areas out there.
I was told they have one tower there that is filled with concrete....

Did you happen to get to the "top" of the mountain? The view looking at Lake Michigan is really nice.

I have been, but not on my last trip. It was Labor Day and the joint was jammed to the max with cars...It is one of the 'greats' as far as unique ski views though.

What stuff? It's all on the hill
In my defence, the carriers look like the old Dopp stuff, same with the reaction ring on the bullwheel, plus the only Borvig I've ever seen outside of photos was the Berthoud Pass lift. What do you mean about the 'part Leitner' bit?

What do you mean about the 'part Leitner' bit? Up until the late 80's Borvig bought grips, sheave trains and some gearboxes directly from Leitner.

Wow. I stand corrected. Or should I say 'sit' as I don't normally stand while using the computer.
