Here is a snip from the 2004 Worldbook. This is the lift that AussieRob is talking about. Big download if you are on dial-up.

Broken arrow opens the terrain you see on the funitel and the north bowl of the silverado area.

Heres a picture I took from the gondola of the Excalibur, Wizard crossover at Blackcomb.

At Steamboat, Four Points used to cross under Storm Peak when Four Points was double and Storm Peak was triple (and a very long, cold ride). In 1992, the original triple Storm Peak (1983 Yan) was shortened to create a triple replacement for the Four Points double (1967 Miner-Denver) and the new HSQ Storm Peak was installed originating at where the old WJW (1977 Yan double) was removed to make way for this. Storm Peak no longer crosses Four Points but if you look closely at the lower section of tower 12(?) you can see where the cross arms were removed from the old double Four Points chair and a faded out tower number on the shared tower.

I worked for me when I tested it. You can order the 2004 cd from the Worldbook Order post and get the complete book on CD.

Worked for me too.

The sunshine village gondola crosses over the wolverine express.

It used to be at Park City that Payday's tower supported Ski Team's Bullwhell as I understand it before they shortened Ski Team. Don't really know how that worked but it apparently used to be that way.

Man I had never been on Ski Team till this year during the Silverload shutdown and man there is some great terrain off that lift I never knew Park City had.

I don't remember that, but Payday did cross over the bottom terminal of Ski Team until they shortened it. I wonder why they shortened it, it was in an equally bad spot before. It was pretty close to the base but not right there, if they aligned it a little differently it could have started at the base

Hi Iain,

The lift mentioned is the 6CLD-B Viderjochbahn I, in the Silvretta Arena, a large ski area situated on the border of Switzerland (Samnaun) and Austria (Ischgl). I was on holiday there 3 weeks ago. Attached you will find a picture of mentioned Viderjochbahn I crossing 6CLD-B Alp Trider Sattelbahn, from which this picture was taken. Both lifts also cross the Milolift T-bar.

Except for these lifts, the Silvretta Arena has more lifts crossing each other. I also attached a picture of 6CLD-B Nachtweidebahn, crossing 24-Funitel Silvrettabahn and the paralel 6MGD Fimbabahn in the back, and going over the base station of 6CLD-B Gratbahn.

The 3rd picture is of 4CLD-B Flimjochbahn crossing 8CLD Höllbodenbahn, having a shared tower, the 8CLD-B Idjochbahn in the back also crosses this lift, but I don't have a proper picture of that.

Hey Nuno,
Neat pictures. I was there in May 2003 for a tour with Doppelmayr. We looked at the Gratbahn, and the funitel. The Funitel has a funky adjustable tower at the top.
Their service road is paved and we drove up in a tour bus. It was a scary ride.

Park City: Payday Lift and Town Lift.

The six pack replaced a lift right? because it seems odd that the obviously newer sixpack goes under the older triple.

Yes.

Why would you want to reengineer the town lift when the new HSS could easily run the former Yan triple line? The town lift was installed after the original Payday lift so that's why it crosses the Payday Express lift today.

The Payday Yan triple was built first, then Town lift was built over it, then Payday HSS (with a new line, actually; the old triple line is now used for the ZipRider) was built through the same opening the triple went through underneath Town lift

Does anyone know what the towers that go parallel with the Town Lift at it's base and then go straight under the lift following it all the way until it reaches the end of Bonanza Acess Trail facing the Bonanza Express and Town Lift Return (Top) station.

That lift was once used to bring down ore from the top of the mountain to the smelter. It was never a ski lift.

Yeah, they were from a mining tram there. Nice touch that they left them there. I like it farther up from the town where you can still see them in the woods. There's one restored tower at the Marriott Summit Watch in town that's all nice and shiny. It's in line with the other towers to, something I just noticed this year
