I was at Mt. Brighton Michigan today and saw two lifts that I am stumped with. Here is a picture, i'm thinking its a Murray-Latta?

Yea, that is a possibility. Is there any better shots of the terminal, chair, bulwheel, etc.? That would help figure it out.

The towers at the breakover don't look like they are Heron.

Judging by the guideage between the tower & terminal - it looks like a M-Latta... At least the MLatta's I've seen have these kind of guides.

Not a Murray-Latta. Their towers were built differently, without the triangular gussets you see at the tube/cap junction.

Does anyone know who made this lift at Mt. Pomerelle, ID? I presume this lift was replaced by the CTEC triple that is there now. If you guys don't know, I guess I could just e-mail Mt. Pomerelle and get it.

Looks like a Thiokal chair to me like the ones a Solitude except without the wood back rest.

I believe the carriers that are on the double lifts at Solitude are Riblet, not Thiokol. But this carrier design is really weird.

I think it is a Thiokol, and the wooded backrest could be something Pomerelle did on their own either when the lift was still up or after the carrier was made into that nifty bench.
