You should go to California next since resorts that you have from there on this lift database only have some of the lifts pictures. It would be cool to see a complete set of pictures for resorts like Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Heavenly, Northstar, Mammoth Mountain, etc.

I’m thinking a road trip through California is in order after Jackson Hole closes in April. This seems like the year for it.

Since it doesn’t let me comment there, at squaw valley, the old high camp Chair used to be a Double, but recently before it was removed, it was upgraded to a triple. Where did those chairs come from? Also why does the trail map sometimes say lifts like the mountain meadow and papoose triples are doubles? Even the workbook entry says it is a 2-CLF for the papoose triple.

I just updated the settings so you can comment on any page. Papoose Deluxe opened as a double chair but with triple model chairs to give beginners more space. Deluxe is no longer in the name and it is now loaded as a triple.

You should get pictures of Iron Mountain. It’s by Lake Tahoe, it’s abandoned and is really cool.

I’ve noticed a lot of the northeast isn’t covered. I’ve found a pretty good website that could be used to cover New England. newenglandskihistory.com. It has details and pictures of, to the best of my knowledge, every lift in New England. Also, I’ve noticed there’s only one resort in New York listed. I can provide info for Hunter. Anything more for NY, I would need another source.

I take all the photos on this site myself. I have already put together the stats on every resort in North America and will add more to the site as I take pictures. I plan to cover more of the northeast in the coming months and years.

True it’s a very good website for Japanese lifts. Do they have a good portion of South American lifts? I have always wondered that.

I’m kind of on a quest to find the stortest lift on the blog. Anyone know? My best guess right now is the Platter at Mt. Plesant of Edinboro, at only aroynd 210 ft..

Are you every going to do Rope Tows and carpets or are they not counted as lifts?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Personally I think rope tows should be counted because they have operator houses in some cases. With carpets they are so small and so plain there is not much to photograph. Also, most carpets are used for beginners which is usually ski school so wouldn’t it be weird if some guy started taking pictures of the magic carpet your child and other children on it?

I think rope tows should be counted. With the carpets, I agree with you. The rope tows at Alta and UOP have operator houses.
LikeLike
it also does have bullwheels

It really depends on the nature and importance of the lift, for example, a basic magic carpet won’t find its way on the blog but the Transfer Tow at Alta did. I would include rope tows if I was running a similar blog but I highly doubt that Peter is going to revisit every area he documented just to take some pictures of their least interesting lifts
LikeLike
Atla’s transfer tow is a pretty unique lift. It’s essentially like any other surface lift, but with a rope on the carriers.

Does anyone know if there are any side board chairlifts in the US or Canada like this one in Europe?
