Whistler has 3 lifts that cross. The Peak 2 Peak crosses over the Emerald chair, the Excalibur Gondola passes over the Wizard Chair and the Village Gondola passes over the Fitzimmons chair. None of these lifts share towers though

At Squaw Valley:

Far East crosses over the Red Dog lift. The Funitel crosses over the Broken Arrow and Big Blue lifts. None of them share towers, though.

The original Siberia lift, until around 2011, crossed over the Newport lift between towers 9 and 10. Neither lift shared a tower.

The Flyer used to cross G-lift back in the day. G was removed in '99 and the Flyer's crossover towers were lowered.

Those towers on American Flyer look like they were probably about as tall as the towers the Peak 8 SuperConnect uses in order to cross over the Beaver Run SuperChair today.

Speaking of which, here's what the section of the American Flyer lift where it crossed over G-lift prior to 1999 looks like today:

Speaking of lifts that used to cross each other, the original Colorado SuperChair crossed over Lift 2 prior to 1997 between towers 10 and 11, although I don't know if there are photos of that crossover readily available.
