Little Whiteface – Whiteface, NY

The Little Whiteface double is the longer of two parallel lifts that share towers.
These towers were added in 1989.
Lift overview.
Towers along the lower part of the line.
Little Whiteface ran alone for its first 11 years until Mountain Run was added by CTEC in 1989.  That’s when towers switched out for double style ones.

Doppelmayr CTEC replaced the rest of the towers in 2011 but reused the Hall foundations.

    How are the towers Doppelmayr CTEC if Doppelmayr CTEC changed to Doppelmayr in 2011?

    Note the vintage “unload here” sign at the top unload. No doubt due to this lift’s ride time being a full two minutes longer than the gondola (despite being half it’s length), and subsequent low ridership when Cloudsplitter is open. Peter didn’t show this in the photos, but if riding up and looking towards the gondola, you’ll see it’s a rather steep drop off. Very pretty view, extraordinarily long and cold.

    IDK where Peter got this information from but it seems that this lift is on track for a replacement in 2024 with a newer lift.
