Coldest Lift in the East

[freeheel_skier]

The single chair at Mad River Glenn gets my vote. Someone mentinoed the slidebrook express at Sugarbush. That is one long cold lift!

You guys are all wrong.


The coldest lift in the world is the one you have to sit on with my friend's ex girlfriend...

:dunce:

My vote goes to the Flyer Express Quad at Jay Peak when it hits the ridge. At least that's the coldest I've experienced.

Green mt flyer at jay after you come up over the hill. Rivercoil I have to disagree I find the cannonball colder than the peabody at Cannon, maybe I have just hit bad wind on it.

Timberline quad at Sugarloaf or the double at saddleback.

I'd go with the double at Saddleback or the Upper Spillway Double at the Loaf. You may not get the additional windchill from a detach, but you have plenty of time to ponder the meaning of cold on the way up.

(I may be biased, as the Loaf is the only place I've ever been that was cold enough to warrant stopping in three times to warm up...on the same run.)

I'd concur with either Spillway East (I think that's the uppoer one - we call it "chillway") or the double at Saddleback.

If we could include lifts no longer running, I'd say the coldest one was the double at Big Squaw. Something like 6000 feet long, a good 15-minute ride, and when you start to approach to top, where all the blowdowns are/were, the wind can be just brutal.

But alas, it broke, was condemned, is not running, and the place is starting to disintegrate into the dust.

Green Mountain Flyer at Jay is my #1. The old Killington summit double at Killington was brutal also. The single at Mad River about 1/3rd of the way up can be rough on some days.
