Just yesterday ....
www.waterville.com/cams-base ..... Wed, Nov 12, 2025 .... very close to this brand new, square utility shack, this short tee-bar lift line support tower was installed and attached to its concrete base on a snowy day of about 1" snowfall.
Is SO very appropriate to catch a snowy day for installing the first lift line support tower. Maybe a snowy blessing from the weather, above?
Watch this new tee-bar be constructed alongside the overhead cables and towers of their super-duper WV 6-seat chairlift, the 6-pak.
This new tee-bar replaces the old Exhibition Slope, Poma disc lift that was removed, and it goes from just above the main lift station to the bottom of The Chute, next to the main lift line, overhead, and huge towers.
Tee-bars are somewhat challenging to use, and a good ride up the hill.
If only it was an old fashioned rope tow with a 1" brown wet/dry natural fiber rope line to hold tight, powered by an old red Farmall tractor with the line running around a big tractor rim without a tire, up top the hill ........ boo-hoo! ..... like it was 1955.

You know WV has a $10-mil 6-pak lift but it ain't got a horse like at Black Mtn!
