Here are some various shots of our three Doppelmayr Chairs. I have nothing but good things to say about these lifts. Our first two Doppelmayrs were installed in 2000. The North Chair replaced a T-bar, and the south South Chair replaced a 1985 BM tripple. We received our newest Doppelmayr (Stappells Chair) in 2004 and it replaced a 1978 Hall Tripple.

The first two shots are of the North Chair. I helped paint the drive last summer so it's looking really good. The second two shots are of our newest chair the Stappells. More pictures to come.

We are a relatively small resort with 275' verticle, but we do have over 40 acres of skiing. Check out our website at www.caledonskiclub.on.ca All of our maze fencing is hand made, just a simple 2X6 board with plastic hosing fed through pre-drilled holes and screwed in place. A lot cheaper then the metal mazes, and a helluva lot easier to set-up then ropes.

Are you out in Whistler? I spent a season out (2003/04) there working as a senior host for the guest services department.

I live in Vancouver although we go to Whistler 4-5 times a year. Good idea with the fencing, i guess you guys never have lines considering your private.

We use coral hoops like that here at Sunapee. There cheap to make and easy to maintain, as well as highly portable.

Chairlift n. A transportation system found at most ski areas in which a series of chairs suspended from a cable rapidly conveys anywhere from one to eight skiers from the front of one line to the back of another.

Hey Phil
You gotta get some shots of that Riblet quad you have in town, and next time in Kimberely get some of the old Buckhorn Chair.
