What's yours?

Yeah, it's out west but I do agree about KT-22.

I like the Wildcat Express when running at full speed. The new Skye Peak Express is next.

Oz quad at Sunday River. Accesses great terrain and nobody rides it! You could ski onto it on the Saturday of Presidents weekend.

for some reason I like Hunter west's chairlift...very old school...and I can see what I'm in for. Can also be entertaining...lots of yardsales...not that I like that kind of stuff.......well sometimes as long as no one gets hurt.

Any chair over a bump run that gives me a good chance to preview possible lines: from memory...
Okemo:
The H lift (Black Ridge Triple) (more recently)
The D lift (Salem Quad - used to be a double maybe?) as a kid (haven't had as many bumps on Ledges the last few times i've been)

Mt. Snow:
#14 (Beartrap)
#10 (Outpost)
#18 (Challenger)

Sugarbush
Valley House Double
Super Bravo (for views of Stein's)
Heaven's Gate Triple
Castlerock
+ I guess basically all the lifts at Mt. Ellen now!

Stowe:
Lookout Double
Fourunner (sorta)

Kmart:
Bear Mt.Quad, obviously
Snowdon triple (I guess?)
I dont remember being able to see that well out of K-1...

Vail:Not sure I remember...either the Skyline Express or Earl's Express

Aspen Highlands: I know there was one here that scared the balls out of me when I was 16, but can't remember where or the name...

Telluride: Same as Aspen...

Breckenridge:
Colorado Superchair

Deer Valley:
Empire Express
Carpenter/Silver Lake Express (briefly, for White Owl and Lucky Bill)

South Ridge Triple at K

Any poma at Okemo. What? they're not there any more????
Last time I skied there (80-81, before they boulevard-ed the place) it was practically all pomas. They were the fastest suckers on the universe. No lines. No wind holds. You would be entirely shot after 4 hours of skiing you got so many run in. "Made you strong like bull" Good times....

The Berkshire Express at Jiminy. I was at Jiminy one night with very few other people and I got 8 runs in one hour without really trying. That rate is about all my legs can handle.

The Peak chair at Whistler has some scary exposures.

The old double chair at Loges Peak at Aspen Highlands.

Favorite in the east would have to be the Madonna I lift at Smugglers Notch.

Lift 1 at Sundown. I like it so much I took some of it home on my jacket.

Castlerock Double - maybe a line but worth the wait

Valley House Double - chance to see what's happening on the Mall, sheltered from the wind

Northridge at Mt. Ellen at Sugarbush. Best variety of terrain from groomer to bumbs to woods to hitting the backside of the mountain. High speed and only a couple windy spots.

 

[marcski]

West: Collins Chair at Alta

East: MRG single.

 

[WWF-VT]

Northridge at Mt. Ellen at Sugarbush. Best variety of terrain from groomer to bumbs to woods to hitting the backside of the mountain. High speed and only a couple windy spots.

You can hit any trail at Mt Ellen from the Northridge chair except Rim Run, Black Diamond and FIS and it is a gateway to a bunck of woods options

 

[bvibert]

Castlerock double at SB or the Single at MRG, can't decide.
