10 Great New England Ski Lifts

On the subject of errors: the Skyline (a.k.a., Spillway) chair at the Loaf does not go up to the summit.

Worst errors in the article: The Cannon tram is 2.1 miles long! And the summit elevation is 5,359 feet! The 1500 feet per minute is dubious too. Although it would be nice if it were all true. That would be 3,400 vertical feet with a 7.4-minute ride.

Wow. Poor fact checking yet again. They need to get us to write these articles. :idea:

^ I think the way it works there is that the surfers write the ski stories and the skiers write the surf stories.

Don't know that I would call it a great chair lift, but worth noting. From the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce On the Snow newsletter:

"The oldest running double chairlift in New England is being retired. Cranmore Mountain will hold a "Going Away Party" on Sunday, March 18 to mark the retirement of its East Double Chairlift.

The East Chair is being replaced with a triple chairlift to be installed in time for the winter 2012-13 operating season. The East Double Chairlift was installed in 1955 and is the oldest operating double chairlift in New England. The East Slope has been a highlight of the Cranmore ski experience for almost 60 years. The going away party will also give East Chair fans a chance to sign up for a waiting list to purchase one of the 60 chairs from the lift later this summer."
