Only one carpet loader. Wished they added more. Biggest hit on SR for me is that all the terrain I ski is served by fixed grip lifts that are all on the older side. Compared to SL and Wildcat I'd rather have the HSQ or Skyline. Throw a carpet on Aurora or and I'd double my visits there in a year easily.

The variety means you'll never get bored though.

Sunday River has been a big winner. I think Bob R can attest to how far it has come....and even back in 2004 or so it wasn't THAT bad. It just needed some renovations and some new capital.

I must be an oddball lol. It seems, in general, in my experience (enough disclaimers?!) that the slower lifts at SR have shorter lines and it's all a wash. I hate the spruce carpet loader - don't get the point and I don't think it made much difference. Seems the system causes more stopping so net travel time is same. Plus, after a good hard run (I hit bumps) - my legs need a rest. I would rather have no line and a slow lift then a longer line with quicker lift. I couldn't imagine choosing a mountain because of fixed vs detachable....other things sure (line length overall, lift placement etc). At SR - the faster lifts are the ones to be avoided on busy days.

I agree with this. The times I skied at Stowe I have avoided the fourrunner and rode the lookout because one had a shit show line and the other was ski on.
