I absolutely refuse to have any interaction whatsoever with anyone who runs that place after how they treated me back in June.  Not gonna happen.  DB can call himself if he wants.

Since DB is a Whiteface skier, I located Whiteface's boneyard.  I noticed a large pile of Hall chairs.  I don't know if they still have them but I'd think they do.

Edit:  If a lift is scrapped it doesn't mean the chairs were.  I know Sams Chair from Mount Peter was scrapped, but I don't know about the rest of the chairs, and have no intention of trying to find out more.

Coordinates of Whiteface's boneyard on Google earth are 44°21'7.73"N   73°51'56.97"W

I see a bunch of Hall double chairs, a return bullwheel, and possibly a motor room enclosure.  These would've all come off the Midstation Shuttle lift which was removed with the Valley Triple in 2002.  There is a tower right next to all the chairs that is a 1950's Riblet era tower that came off the Little Whiteface lift.  It was one of the only Riblet towers that Hall didn't replace when they upgraded the Riblet lift in 1978.  It was removed in 2011 when they replaced the towers on the top of that lift.  Still has the Hall sheaves.  On the western edge of the boneyard, I see what could potentially be some more towers, which would probably be off the Little Whiteface lift when they put in new towers in 2011.

Here's Hunter's boneyard 42°12'23.74"N  74°13'8.78"W

I see many Poma quad chairs that came off the Snowlite Express.  The Zephyr Express doesn't have nearly as many chairs and the leftovers are there.  There are also some tower heads and tower tubes that are still in their grey and black colors as only the towers that went to Zephyr were sent out to be galvanized.

At the bottom of the West Side, I know there are some towers from the G2 and Z lifts and lots of chairs from both lifts.

F Lift is going to another ski area.  That's all I know.

Now we need to find out what ski area as they could have a potential lift project coming.  If the new installation is shorter they could potentially still sell some chairs.

Thanks, Brownski.  I think I saw that a little too late.  I wouldn't mind one for the deck.  I do already have a chair from Nashoba Valley, and 4 T-bars, 2 telescoping, 2 all wood.

They have finally started taking out the F Lift.  I can see chairs coming off on the webcam.

It's rumored to be going to Plattekill.
