Along with the "slowest" thread, what are the longest duration lifts (ride time) in the northeast?

Seriously, that thing has to be over 20 minutes long.

K skyeship is pretty long if you take it from the bottom.
It's 3 stage predecessor was even longer, I don't remember the exact time though

I believe the original k gondola was once the longest gondola by length in the world

Hornet Double at Tenney, all 6000' of it. Its was 20+ minutes, the West Mt. Double is 1000' longer so it must be 25 minutes or so.
The original K gondola was 17,500', Skyeship is just under 13,000'.

The original K Gondola was a hell of a long ride. If I had to guess it would probably be Smugglers Notch Madonna I chair. It covers a great distance and is pretty darn slow.

I can snowshoe pretty close to JoMary Mtn's summit(backcountry) faster than wait for one of the W.Mtn. chairs..

My first time at Sugarbush....
My Friend: Here follow me, this lift goes back up.
Me: Wait, why are we going into the valley?!
My Friend: Oh, my bad wrong lift.....
*An eternity later
Me: I hate you....

You didn't notice the lift was facing in the wrong direction?

I find any lift that goes downwards freaky. That lift, freezer at jay, riva bahn at Vail etc

Consider the distance! At least you know it is covering a little over two miles so that is not that bad. I find that chair to be relaxing!
When a lift takes that long and covers a shorter distance, then it is painful!

The full line on the Whiteface double is one of the longer ones I remember, got to be close to 20 if you skip the midstation at the top of Mtn Run. Best views on the whole hill though so its not that bad.
