That red gondola in the second frame is random isnt it? Or is it the old paintjob for exalibur?

Must be- that's the only Doppelmayr gondola up there. Lots of photos of the old Big Red lift, as well as the old Blue lift. Pretty cool. Also wierd to see the old trail map with nothing on the Blackcomb side...

The red gondola is definitely not the one at Blackcomb. Ours has stainless steel panels and has never been painted. Also ours have a peg on the bottom of the cabin not a rail. That lift also has figure 8 comm lines, ours are lashed.

Nice Vokyl Zebras in the "hot dog" shot on the last page! I had a pair of those that I bought for rock skis in Colorado 1976-77 (The year of no snow). Blew out about a foot of edge at Crested Butte, damn!
