The wildcat express quad is probably my favorite. Never a line more than a few people long, and it is incredibly fast and gives you access to everything.

Also a big fan of the South Ridge Triple at Killington. Not sure why really, its slow, barely runs when you want it to, and cold as hell. I guess its because I just love skiing the south ridge on a powder day?

least favorite: which ever one it was I fell off of when I was 6 years old out at Copper in CO...

That is an odd lift.

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

Yeah, I'm with you. For some reason, the single never feels like a long ride, despite the fact that it's not the speediest thing in the world, and since you ride solo you better enjoy your own company. I just love this pic of madskier6 on the single:

And of course the Castlerock Double is also equally as rad, but you can chat with a buddy:

As long as you don't want to chat with a buddy in the chair in front of you, since it's so far away. ;)

Seriously though, what you said was pretty much my reasoning too.

The new six pack at Blue, when full, can be quite a steezy sandwich.


:wink:

The Challenger HSQuad out of the Warm Springs base at Sun Valley. It is 3142 vertical ft in about 10 minutes while watching skiers and borders push 60 mph down the Warm Springs Trail.
East
The Straightbrook Quad on the upper mountain at Gore. Short and steep and well protected from the wind with lots of fun viewing on the slopes below.
