WOODEN Tbars, chairlift seats, Where are they?

Specifically wonder if there are any WOODEN T’s left, I know the Shelter chair at Caberfae has wooden seats, an old Hall double.

What tbars you know of have wooden T’s?

What chairlift seats are still wooden?

Chair #10 on Crotched's West Lift (hall double) was retrofitted with a wooden chair on the 10th anniversary of the area's reopening. There are also a bunch of the old chairs in use as benches in the base lodge, legs were welded on to them.

The Green lift at Magic has all wooden slat seats. Brand New wood when it finally opened after many years. Looks great, Borvig.

Also, I think every Hall double at Smuggs are wood chairs. And Bolton's doubles.

Pretty sure Double Runner, Skidway and Snubber at Sugarloaf have wood slat seats.

Wait let me check for splinters...
Are the Js at Burke wood?

Buffalo Ski Center's Buffalo T-Bar has wooden seats at least of last March. BTW, if anyone is in the area, and BSC has everything open; Go there. It is a great place to ski. Lots of variety, and pretty uncrowded. It would take me 20 years to get bored of the place.

Otis Ridge has wooden Doppelmayr Ts and the cross piece on most telescoping Ts is made of wood.

Lost Valley has wooden seats and backrests on one of their chairs.

I'm pretty sure only the cross-piece is wood on that one. I think Cisco's looking for full wooden Ts. Like I mentioned before, almost all telescoping Ts have wooden cross-piece.

The Hall double at Berkshire East has wood seats and they retrofitted the West Quad with wood boards instead of retrofitting the Borvig chairs with Partek chair backs.

Both Hall t-bars at Oak have wooden crosspieces. The old summit t-bar had all-wood (orange) T's. There are a few on the wall in the lodge and rental shop.

Actually I was just thinking the crosspiece where you put your butt on
Can’t find any pictures of “ full” tbars
Didn’t know there were so many
Do they still make them with Wood?

Here is the T-bar at Otis which are still full wood: https://newenglandskihistory.com/lifts/viewlift.php?id=146

They no longer make new T-bars with telescoping Ts, but replacement Ts for existing T- bars with wooden cross pieces are still made as far as I know.

There are lots of existing telescoping Ts with wooden cross pieces in New England. Just listing the ones in Maine, there is one at Black, one at Abram, two at Titcomb, one at Baker, two at Jefferson, one at Quoggy Jo, and one at Lonesome Pine.

We also have a bunch of full wooden Ts from an old T-bar in storage at Black.

Dopplemeyer will give you a replacement Hall telescoping section with spring for around $600.

I think you may need to relocate from Ohio
