What's your favorite chair lift ?

[undercover_skier]

I'd say the one that get's you to the top of white face, there is a sign that says

'' have you had a good look at the slope, would you like a ride back down ? ''

Peak Chair

 

[Dan.P]

The number 1 chair on the V8 lift in Perisher, the most comfortable chairlift I have ever ridden. Its like an armchair

 

[PeterWojnar]

KT-22 at Squaw Valley. Anyone who says different has never skied KT, and is wrong.

 

[hoodratz47]

[snowbombz]

im not sure high speed trains count

 

[RudyGarmisch]

Nothing like killing a half hour sitting on Daisy at Stevens.

 

[BcPowderHunter]

As much as I love Peak Chair, I would have to say Glacier Express. Spanky's and access to Blackcomb slackcountry/backcountry being the over-riding factors, also usually less busy and almost always opens before peak.

 

[belden...]

the orange bubble at the canyons...

no bud really Gad 2 st snowbird

 

[TheWeaz]

this guy knows whats up, the single at mad river is also my favorite

 

[Toasty.]

[Toasty.]

but for me know its the Aiguille du midi at chamonix

 

[vauban08]

Pretty easy call. For gondola, the Aiguille du Midi @ Cham:

For chairlift, the Leissieres in Val D'Isere

Lapping alpine park all day!

 

[stickski]

wildcat at alta.. its got everything you want

 

[array.]

7th Heaven, the thing is almost straight up!

 

[Session]

Haha...sometimes it's nice to just jump on Blue, and not have to wait in line with a bunch of gapers waiting for MHX.

 

[Gondaire]

yea sugarbush!

But my favorite lift has to be the gondola at Tremblant because on a bluebird day the views down the mountain are orgasmic

 

[yojimbo]

at my home mountain king pine chair is definitley my favorite (sloaf)

 

[ilanna.]

glacier express! and 7th heaven when its sunny

 

[theJones]

 

[WhoWantIt]

Fact.

 

[hoodratz47]

i know... but that mother fucker is crusty and at the top.. you dont fuck around when you get off or your gonna get dropped.... i remember in 2004 for like two week MHX had a problem and was shut down. blue was the only way up............ soo lame!

 

[hokkanee]

Wildcat at alta

 

[Blurst]

Outback chair at MSLM, only because of all the good times that have been had around it.

 

[lanny94]

no it isnt

 

[Heinzler]

this one lift in telluride..you get to the top of the ridge and BAM! amazing view followed by even more amazing skiing

 

[Karma_Police]

I'm way better than you.

 

[belden...]

wildcat is up there as well

 

[Bagels]

 

[harrymcfadden]

my 3 favorites are, the stoke chair, revelstoke (amazing slack country access and inbounds terrain)Saddle Quad, Treble Cone (amazing slackciuntry access and inbounds terrain)Whitestar Express.Cardrona (extremely fast park laps)

 

[downhillkilla]

7th Heaven...at Stevens Pass

 

[PeteySkeety]

Schlashman's at BB very few gapers, crazy terrain, lots of vert!

 

[chardi]

turning lift at killington

 

[lgbskier]

lessieres express in val d'isere just cos it makes the lift ride a bit more intersting

 

[skithesprings]

i'm WAAAYYYYYYYYY better at skiing than you.

 

[Parrish]

Single Bar lifts scare the hell out of me when either

A) You are riding solo

B) The person you are riding with is heavier then you

C) It's Really windy out.

So Sketch when you are a lightweight,

 

[joshua]

I like t-bars.

 

[3mania]

I was just about to say the exact same thing, The KT is for real.

 

[Karma_Police]

My buddy almost fell of the lift because the arm rest is maybe 2 inches high. That chair is ridiculous but it's pretty close to the ground. On that super steep part you're less than 10 feet off the ground.

 

[Crehm]

The park chair at otsego, super fun to lap and watch people throw down on the lift, and hear them make fun of you when you fall.
