Longest duration "chairlists"

[KevinF]

The chairlift is now long gone, but the Big Pig double that serviced the top of Stowe's double has got to be one of the most torturous rides ever.

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.

Just in case prospective buyers might be lurking, and put off by more bad word of mouth...... For the record: non stop ride on the Hornet was 13 minutes.......it just felt like 20.

Summit Local, Mount Snow. 7,700 feet. 20+ minutes.

Bluebird @ Mount Snow on a Saturday. 20+ minute line and a 10+(with stop/slows) minute ride
Single @ MRG on a powder day. 40 minute line and 14 minute ride.

Technically it was listed as a 17 minute ride - which was pretty accurate IF it didn't stop!!

The Red and the Black at Magic both approach that 17 minute duration

Black feels slower/longer than Red to me even tho it's abt 100' vert less....could just be subjective tho
I actually prefer riding red thru the tree canopy vs black

Will get on both on Saturday!

When I was at snow mass, I was on the lift with a local, who had to be in his 70's at least, who was telling me the old single chair at aspen mountain used be a 30 minute ride, if it didn't stop at all!! Wow, I'd imagine that's a longggg ride on a cold day

Chair 2 at Loveland - feels like you're on it forever.

i don't remember the name but there was a very slow and long chair @ powder mountain

Powder Mtn Utah? Yes, that fixed grip quad at the very bottom. It's slow as hell and at one point crosses that huge gap. Hated that lift.

That lift is actually only 11 minutes long without stoppages, but that never happens. With stoppages it's usually about 13

I've had a chairlist ongoing for about 5 years now. Apparently an aeron chair makes a home look to "officey."

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

25 minutes from Route 4 to K peak.
Northeast Passage was 17 minutes

Now these were real trailmaps: http://skimap.org/data/211/1/1281826684.jpg

Lift length and ride times. Trail length, snowmaking details, etc.

I love the note about how there is no shuttle bus service at all--advising you to ski near where you parked your car at the end of the day (common sense lol) :lol:

Without stops red is just under 13 and black is about 13 and a half

Attitash summit lift 17 min of creeping , they slowed it down this year for "safety " reasons AKA save electricity

I skied ascutney after they installed the HSQ quad to the summit, and there were only 2 options down, a blue and a double black. That single blue was a sheet of ice before noon, seeing as attitash has a similar setup, I would imagine the same thing would happen there. That might be part of their reluctant as well, regardless of what they publicly say (or don't say)

Sojourn Double at MC. They don't call it a sojourn for nuthin'.

 

[MadMadWorld]

Anyone remember how long the Wildcat gondola was?

 

[skiNEwhere]

12 minutes maybe? I think I was only 11 or 12 when it was removed so I don't totally remember
