No it's not, because I posted it up first for some people to see and then since the forum seemed slow, I thought I would add a link to it on here to. I'm still looking for some lift names but I will add a link to it later tonight from the installation page.

That would be great, since it's kind of hard to match up lifts that are no longer around.

I cleaned up all my posts. Heres all the lifts names together

Heres the Whistler ones. The lift at the very bottom is Black Chair, the one above Olympic is Village

Ok, from the top of the Blackcomb lifts

Cruiser

Stoker

Catskinner

No 5

Fitzsimmons


The one at Big White is the Powder Chair

The T-bar at Murray Ridge is Lift A. And the T-bar at Clearwater is simply called the T-Bar.

The lift at Smithers is Skyline Triple

The lift at Mt Washington is the Red Chair I think. Im about 80% SURE.

I think you missed the old Jersey Cream chair at Blackcomb which was installed in 1984.

Was that a new or used lift, because if it was used, it's not listed for that reason.

As I work my way further back with the lift installation surveys, I'm noticing a lot of popular ski resorts opening for the first time and I was wondering if you would like me to list them on the lift installation surveys?

However, if you don't care, I'll just leave it how it is.

I think it would be pretty nice to keep em on the list. It would give it a little bit of historic siginificance, not that the whole list isn't historically significant.

I think I figured out what's up with the '73 page. Isn't that the first year SAM was in publication? If so, that's why they've got lifts from '72 on the list as well as from '73. I noticed that not only are the original llifts at Copper on the list, but so are the lifts at Stagecoach and they were also built in '72. I'm pretty sure that several of the Telluride lifts listed were also built in '72.
