I've never seen anything like it. What lift, where?
(And list the brands if you know)

Not sure of the particular lift, but looks like WSO/Stadeli judging by the terminal and carriers.

EDIT: I know Snowbasin has/had a couple of WSO triples, but they both had tubular steel towers not lattices, and terminated below the treeline so it can't be there.

So did/does Taos. Perhaps Europe?

I've cheated a little and found the lift in question. Its definitely in Europe and is a ~1980s WSO Fixed Triple. It'll probably be incredibly hard for anyone to get that hasn't skied that area before (which I suspect not many [if any] people on this forum have!), without looking it up. I'll wait a couple of days to see if anyone gets it before posting the answer.

The 2 WSOs at Snowbasin (Becker & Porcupine) are 1985/86 Vintage. This one is a bit older.

The lift in question is a 1984 Stadeli Fixed Triple in Arosa, Switzerland. Its name is Alp Stätz
