Snow's Mountian in Waterville Valley?

Not too many Stadelis around.

It that a smidgeon of Valley Run at top right behind the tree? Peaklet there must be Green Peak. I've always though they could vastly improve design at Tecumseh by running the stupidquadzilla from it's current base to the top of Green's.

That's pretty close to the plan!

'Cause your pic reminded me that I took some last summer

Noticed that except for the short steep section up top, the trails are pretty well kept.

I don't believe that pictured lift to be a Stadeli. Stadeli chairs utilized a center pole separating the two riders along with separate safety bars.

All of the original FG chairs between the two Waterville areas were Stadelis.

Other NELSAP Stadelis include the doubles at Big Squaw and Tenney.

I believe Stadeli switch over to regular type chairs like the ones in this picture later on.

We are pretty sure about this one. Both center pole and bail Stadelis can be readily identified by the pronounced big bend in the hanger arm out away to clear the sheaves. I also remember seeing WSO (Wilhelm Stadeli, Otweim) stamped into the taco or grip, depending on the model. Its not as pronounced as the giant HALL stamping, but its there if you look for it.

Do they still run the lift for mountain biking? Did anyone ever ski here, how was it?

All of the remaining Stadeli chairs in the greater Plymouth area are non-centerpoles. While the Tenney chairs were replaced (originals were centerpole), I believe the rest were non-centerpole at time of installation.

Offhand, the remaining Stadelis in this area (I believe Tom Corcoran was a Stadeli seller at one point):
- Campton Mountain Double
- Snow's Mountain Double
- Tenney Mountain Double
- Waterville Sunnyside Triple (upgrade)
- Waterville Northside Double (relocated)
- Waterville World Cup Triple (upgrade)
- Waterville Meadows Double
- Waterville High Country Double

I believe they're selling mountain biking passes for it. It's currently set up for non-skiing use, rampwise. Based upon the new large jumps at the bottom taking up most of the final remaining trail (the liftline), I suspect this area is done for alpine skiing for at least the near future.

Well, that's good. Green Peak will be much better! Even though the real Green Peak is a mile away and 674 feet higher.

The "real" Green Peak you refer to is actually called "Green Mountain"

Are those who jump off that thing going to land on what looks like a deflated air bag? I assume they will inflate it before anyone jumps, unless someone doesn't get the word. Otherwise, it looks like they'd land on flat ground, a bad idea.
