[MOC] Winter Village Ski Slope

I've been eager to keep expanding my Winter Village for this Christmas, and this is my latest model - a Winter Village Ski Slope! As with all my Winter Village models, I try to make them as accurate to what could be a genuine Lego Winter Village set as possible (both in terms of design style, and with a reasonable piece count - hence the use of 16x16 plates for the slope and BURPs to build up the mass of the mountain). It comprises a mountainside with working ski lift, a mountaintop cafe, a cliff-face for mountain climbing, a ski slope (with moguls, slalom flags, rail, and ski jump) and an equipment chalet and locker room at the foot of the slope with a ski rack and fire pit for marshmallows. The ski lift can be powered either by hand with a rear handle or connected up to Lego Power Functions to automate it.

    Mouseketeer, this is a great addition to the winter village concept. I've occasionally thought about what a functioning LEGO ski lift might look like, and yours is certainly effective. Might it be possible to mount the chairs on a hinge so that they hang straight down? Otherwise the chair coming downhill is at quite an awkward angle. The chalet is adorable and I appreciate the waterfall coming down the side of the mountain. Thanks for sharing!

    That's an amazing MOC, @mouseketeer! :oh:

    I really like how you built the chalet as well as the ski lift as well as the hot drinks stand! For sure your MOC would go perfectly with the Winter Village sets.

    If TLG released your MOC as a set, I immediately would buy it! Btw: Have you already thought about posting it on Lego Ideas?

    Thanks Klaus! I actually sell the instructions for my models, which disqualifies me from entering it on Lego Ideas unfortunately. I would like to do a model to submit specifically for Ideas one day though!
