So is that ski area done for? How about the chairlift? Did anybody see how much concrete each tower had and base tower? Alot!

The Whitecap lift at Sunday River is actually more of an access lift than anything else. It services some beginner terrain that accesses one of the three hotels and condos at Sunday River. Sunday River is quite large with 18 lifts spread over about 700 to 800 acres and seven peaks. Here's the Alpinezone profile on it:

And here's the Skilifts.org page on the lift in question:

http://www.skilifts.org/images/resort_imag...sr/wcq/wcq.html
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.

I would think they are going to have to re-engineer that thing before it could be opened again.
