Here in East Quebec (Sutton) We had 1 T-Bar, 1 Poma and 6 Muellar lifts in 1985 when I started.

We now have:
3 Doppelmayr lifts (2 fxed grip and I detachable)
1 carpet bout through Doppelmayr
And 6 Muellar lifts.

(I was going to put loon in here, but then saw it was listed above so i didn't)

Bretton Woods is also mostly doppelmayr/ctec dominated
Learning Center Quad, Rosebrook, and West Mountain are all Doppelmayr/CTEC.
B-Lift is a Heron-Poma double.
Fabyan's and Bethlehem Express are full Doppelmayr
I only caught a glimpse of telegraph t-bar, but I think it is doppelmayr.
Zephyr is Garaventa CTEC. That means that out of 8 lifts, there are 5 doppelmayr / doppelmayr CTECs. (I'm leaving out the carpets)

From the little I know, some mountains mostly dominated by doppy's are Sun Valley (though, you could say that is yan dominated) Vail, Beaver Creek, and Bachelor are some good examples.

[Sacdelic_Skier]

a ctec dominated is shawnee peak. out of 4 lifts, 3 are ctec

I believe Skye Peak Express reused some of the old Yan towers.

2.5 are CTEC. Sunnyside has a CTEC Sprint drive and triple chairs. The towers/assemblies and return are Hall from the original lift.

[Sacdelic_Skier]

good catch

[Conrad]

Gunstock and Cranmore in New Hampshire are both 100% Doppelmayr.

[NHskier13]

I thought cranmore had a couple muellers? Or did those get replaced? (Last time I was there, I think there was a mueller double)

Vail actually has a big mix of manufacturers. Their original detachables are Doppelmayrs, then they switched to Garaventa-CTEC, then Poma, and now back to Doppelmayr for their last two lifts. For their detachable lifts and gondolas, Vail has 6 Doppelmayr, 4 Garaventa-CTEC, and 8 Poma/LPOA.

Beaver Creek on the other hand is all Doppelmayr or Garaventa-CTEC.

Little Eagle, the former Sourdough lift, is a Doppelmayr/Lift Engineering.

Crested Butte is all-Poma/Leitner Poma with the exceptions of its double chairlifts, two of which are Riblets and one of which is a Heron-Poma, and The High Lift T-Bar, which is a Doppelmayr.

[Sacdelic_Skier]

waterville valley is a stadeli mountain with some hopkins

[NHskier13]

It used to be mostly stadeli, but half the lifts are stadeli now, 4/10 if you count World cup as doppelmayr (since I believe that company is reinstalling it) High Country only got a new drive and motor, so I still consider it stadeli since the original structure is still there.

[snoloco]

Steamboat has also changed overtime. First they used Miner Denver, then Heron Poma, then Yan, Doppelmayr, CTEC, and most recently, Poma.

Their only remaining Heron Poma is Preist Creek

Bar UE, Preview, 4 Points, Christie 3, Elkhead, and South Peak are all Yan.

Gondola, Storm Peak Express, Sundown Express, and Thunderhead Express are Doppelmayr.

Morningside and Pony Express are CTEC.

Burgess Creek, Sunshine Express and Christie Peak Express are Poma.

Schuss Mtn, MI
(5) CTEC fg quads (4-'97, 1-'98)

[Yooper Skier]

Most ski areas in the U.P. are all Riblet, including Marquette, Pine, Indianhead, Blackjack, and Big Powderhorn. Not sure what the two T-bars at Indianhead are though...

[DonaldMReif]

Thunderhead Express is also Doppelmayr.

Also, Four Points, South Peak, and Christie III are not all-Lift Engineering. They have Doppelmayr chairs.

[snoloco]

I meant lifts that were originally Yan.
