Skilifts.org has a lift installation survey database that I've found to be fairly useful and accurate. Its got the Madonna lift at roughly 6700 feet and 2150 vertical.... I also got roughly 2110 on google earth.

Missing from the discussion of chairs that cover big vert are Le Massif's two quads. One that covers 2150 vert and another that eclipses 2200. Their new two stage gondola will also span 2200 feet and provide much more top to bottom functionality than the Skyeship at K.

You are not disagreeing with me. You are disagreeing with my sources without having found any sources of your own. :grin:

Weird. Google Earth apparently disagrees with the topo function on Google maps. I don't see how it could be anything over 2050', but maybe I'm just missing the details. Base appears to be 1600' exactly and summit just a tick over 3600'.

Good point.
