Taxi is a little longer than that. I measured it at 330′ Vertical, 1770′ Length. Village is 330′ Vertical and 2400′ Length and Metro is 500′ Vertical and 2850′ Length
I see where you’re coming from but I doubt it. If you look at this map https://skimap.org/data/202/260/1283309932.jpg from 1995 you can see that both Village and Green Mountain existed simultaneously for a few years.
It did indeed have a mid-unload double. I know this b/c the first day I skied at Jay it was so foggy that I couldn’t see that the chair continued beyond the mid-station and inadvertently got off there all day.
It’s not a Borvig bullwheel, though I see the resemblance. Doppelmayr had their own snowflake bullwheel design that they used on return terminals of many T-bars in the 1960s. The T-bar at Otis Ridge, MA also has a snowflake return bullwheel, and the Whiteway T-bar at lost Hogback Mountain, VT has snowflake bullwheels at both terminals.

Does anyone know if the Green Double was relocated, and if so where to?
Also I’m pretty sure it was actually called the Green Mountain Double and had a mid-unload. See this map: https://skimap.org/data/202/2205/1473113171.jpg

Could this have been a relocation of Green Mountain?

Chairlift.org says that the original metro t-bar is Doppelmayr but it clearly has a borvig snowflake bullwheel, any insight?
