Possibly a late model SLI?
If it is in Europe I have no idea since there are so many manufacturers over there.

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.
"You could say that a mountain is alot like a woman, once you think you know every inch of her and you're about to dip your skis into some soft, deep powder...Bam, you've got two broken legs, cracked ribs and you pay your $20 just to let her punch your lift ticket all over again"

I think it is 100% SLI,, but I could be wrong.

Actually, that looks like a Poma. The carriers and terminal don't look exactly like what we've got in the States, but the bottom of the carrier where the seat bolts on looks just like early 80s party. The grips also look like Poma products. SLI touted their 'maintenance-free' carrier; part of that was no bolts on the carrier. If you look at this one there are bolted joints everywhere.

Now I'm not sure. I'm basing my answer completely off observation, while Craig has seen quite a few more lifts up close than I have :)
I still think the carriers are at least partly Poma, though.

I was flying through the posts yesterday and did not see the first photo of the skier getting off the lift. That looks like a early vintage Poma chair...teardrop shape...early grip prior to the spring cans that you see all over. I saw the SLI pic and thought that was what you were talking about! I do see tram cables in the background so that would eliminate around 100 or so locations leaving you with about 25 possible sites!
Good luck amigos!

Hey everyone...
Just my 2 cents...
Now from the original picture it would seem that this is somewhere in Europe?
If that is the case, I believe this is a Montaz Mautino early 80's version. I know for a while they were a close partner (subcontractor) with Pomagalski SA. I've never seen any top station with that configuration on a Poma... And the carriers don't look anything like SLI...
Anyways, feel free to comment!
