Hi!
Some asked me for some pictures of Verbier in Switzerland! The ski Area is the 4 Vallees! Problem is, that they have quite old lifts due to some problems they have! Thea have a very good Off Pist Terrain(?)!
I just put some pictures together!
First of all the skimaps!
Then some pictures of Veysonnaz! They have some of the oldest lifts I have ever seen!
Even a skilift with wooden Poles(?) and the gondola is definitely one of the oldest! But just see the pictures!
RThe gondola is No.11 and the T-bar, No. 14 in the map!

Three pictures from Nendaz! Gondola No. 50 in the map! It has two base station! One which you can enter from the bus-station and the other from the piste! So, the gondolas move up a bit in the building:

I did not ski Mont Gelee, because I had a lot of trouble with my leg that year! It was broken one year before!
Mont Gelee is just off pist, so only bumps etc., thats why I did not ski there! Pictures are from DiDa from the Alpinforum! He might answer you, because he knows about this topic!

Is that an evacuation car in the middle of the funitel above the two sets of cables as pictured in the last picture?

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.

"You could say that a mountain is alot like a woman, once you think you know every inch of her and you're about to dip your skis into some soft, deep powder...Bam, you've got two broken legs, cracked ribs and you pay your $20 just to let her punch your lift ticket all over again"
