MND Ropeways will construct another lift at Waterville Valley, New Hampshire this summer, replacing the existing World Cup T-Bar and Exhibition Poma. The lift will run in a new alignment, serving athletes and training programs as well as the general public. The new T-Bar will span 2,226 feet with a vertical rise of 602 feet and capacity of 1,100 skiers per hour.
“This new T-Bar is an exciting investment in our mountain’s infrastructure,” said Tim Smith, President & General Manager of Waterville Valley Resort. “It will greatly improve our ability to support training camps, race and freestyle programs, and provide enhanced access for recreational skiers.”
This will be the fifth MND Ropeways installation at Waterville following the High Country T-Bar, Tecumseh Express and two conveyors. As part of this summer’s work, Waterville will install redesigned bubbles for the Tecumseh Express’ 83 chairs. A new bubble material has already been tested and found to be more durable than the original Bartholet version.

Glad to see MND building more lifts in the US hope all goes well for them.

Given that the Tecumseh Express is new, do we think that MND is replacing the bubble at no or reduced cost?

With the exception of Skyrides, the World Cup TBar might be the last Hopkins lift still operating at a ski resort left. Bummed to see her go to….

Waterville also invested heavily in MND’s Sufag snowmaking equipment a few years ago with tower and fan guns. Although their more recent purchases have been SMI Polecats.

Bubble replacements are not being provided by MND. They have been designed in-house and sourced in the US.
