All good but there's one more for #3.

Number 5 I wrote down wrong the first time. It is 17 towers and 107 carriers. Now that it's correct, that leaves 5, 6, 7, and 15. All of these ropeways are located in Colorado.

1. Avanti Express
2. Summit Express (Keystone)
3. Christie Peak Express
4. Ruby Express, Santiago Express, and Outback Express
5. Larkspur Express
6. ?
7. Don't know this one, but it has a number of chairs that sounds almost like American Flyer or the Vista Bahn Express
8. Sunapee Express
9. Dreamcatcher Express
10. Thunderhead Express
11. Lone Moose
12. Minnie's (defunct)
13. Eagle Wind
14. Super Bee
15. ?


In which case, I add another five to this list:

16. 20 towers and 142 chairs
17. 28 towers and 165 chairs
18. 26 towers and 157 chairs
19. 30 towers and 195 chairs
20. 20 towers and 154 chairs

5. This would be the Larkspur Express at Beaver Creek.
6. 35 towers, 151 chairs
7. 26 towers, 218 chairs - some Riblet lift maybe?
15.

5 is not Larkspur Express; that has 117 carriers.

Hint on #6: Notice that I said carriers and not chairs...

Number 7 has 25 original towers and a tower 3A added later by a different manufacturer.

Number 15 has 12 actual towers, however YAN numbered the top station as a tower.

There is still another lift that fits number 3, and I know skier knows it.

16. Peru Express - Keystone
17. Orient Express - Vail
18. ArrowBahn Express - Beaver Creek
19. Centennial Express - Beaver Creek
20. Mercury SuperChair - Breckenridge

Here's the answers to the rest.

5. Quicksilver Super6 at Breckenridge
6. Silver Queen Gondola at Aspen Mountain
7. Iron Horse at Winter Park
15. Chair 1 at Loveland

The other lift for number 3 is Thunderwolf at Big Sky.
