I'm not sure when it was repainted as it was before I worked here. I thought before it was installed but I guess after if you saw a photo.

Was the excalibur terminal a custom job? It's one of my favourite doppelmayr terminals.

Kind of. They wanted something low profile in the village. Very little headroom in the drives for moving stuff, and the diesels.

Just found a good site for the history of Whistler-Blackcomb, with lots of pictures.

So far there have been installation pictures, gondola pictures, trail map pictures and more!

There seems to be another lift (not the Gondola) which runs from Creekside, it is definitely NOT olive chair but if anyone knows what that lift is, i would be glad to know.

There used to be a T-bar there way back when. You can still kind of see the cut in the trees for it.

Great site- some pictures of lifts I rode in '89 that are no longer there, some cool history shots, and more. I see there was a pretty tight community up there back in the day, like most areas then. No corporations like today.

Cool, a T-bar! Wonder if anythings still there?

Hike the line and look.

Ive got tonnes of Whistler lift pix here: http://skireportsbc....lerPictures.htm

Where did you get those Fitzsimmons pictures from?

I got those from Vancouverguy's posts. I forgot to credit him on that page. oops.

Actually, it wasn't about that, rather I was thinking that you were him or he might have posted those pictures somewhere else since he hasn't been on the forum for a while.

Sorry. nope. I do wonder where he went... if he would just tell us who he is...i f he is here.

I am now uploading Blackcomb lift pictures. It will be done in about 20-30mins. Until then all the pictures of Whistler lifts will be mixed up on my website.

OK, check out the Whistler Lift Pictures page on my site, theres lots of new photos. Sorry about the index page, i will fix that soon.

Any chance that you can re-post the images here as well?

Sure. I will do that, just the ones i took though because the otherones havent been resized yet. I'll try for tonight or maybe tomorrow.

Sorry, i forgot about re posting. I will start doing it now.

Full res images available on my site
