Here is the 2006 Lift Installation Survey who haven't seen it yet.

You Forgot the New Breakaway Quad at Wolf Ridge!

You also forgot Silver Star @ PCMR and Little Thunder at Big Sky.

cameron,

should you add the BC gondola? its partially done, but they only have to string the cable and add the cabins.

I usually don't classify relocated lifts unless they're more than 75% new.

Do you have the stats for the Breakaway Quad at Wolf Ridge/Laurel? For some reason, Doppelmayr's installation survey didn't list the stats for this years lifts or atleast the version I got.

As for the new gondola at Beaver Creek, once it's finished I'll add it. :)

For Elevation at Sun Peaks it says it is 1118 feet long with 1024 vert. That must be incorrect unless it has an 80 some degree slope.

I was wondering about that too since I have a hard time believing that's correct. I've seen the lift line and it's not that steep so I think some numbers got mixed up.

SAM's 2006 lift installation survey had SEVERAL errors to it, leaving out the providence British Columbia, failing to give the correct vertical rise for some lifts, listing the capacity as the speed of the lift. It's almost like it was done in a hurry and was never checked for errors.

The survey is really interesting!
But there are 2 points I have to mention:
I thought Over Easy at Stowe would be a 10-person Gondola?
And according to Northstar website Tahoe Zephyr is a simple Six-pack and not a chondola at a length of 4334ft.?

One more quad at Baker... one double left until they are a quad-only ski area. When that happens their oldest lift will be a '90. At least someone understands the value in upgrading old equipment.

Belleayre Super Chief FGQ was moved to Catamount. The move included the top and bottom terminals and a few towers.

Wolf Ridge's Quad is a 1800 pph Lift, with a Sprint Drive and eclipse return, 100 hp motor, speed:most likley 400. The vertical: I'd say about 200 to 400 feet

Stowe Over Easy IS a 10 person gon. I go there every year. It's much more convienient than the bus to get from mountain to mountain.

They look like 4 person gondola cabins to me:
