Favorite Ski Lifts

[JimG.]

:blink: I will follow you.

The lift goes to the high traverse which accesses several long, steep chutes that are just amazing. You can also hike up to several very exposed chutes, the kind where in places if you fall, you die.

You learn quickly to scope out how folks ski before you ride up with them. I was with a buddy of mine and we met some good skiers there, so we had no problems. Getting off is a team effort...outside people first, then the 2 inside them, and finally the middle person.

We witnessed many group slides back to the bottom though.

Jiminy: The Berkshire Express (detach six). 5 minutes to the top; let's you get in a ton of vertical on uncrowded days.

Jiminy: The Q1 Quad. A great alternatives to the Berkshire Express that usually never has a line.

Butternut: Overbrook Triple. Usually not much of a line and some great scenery.

Berkshire East: Diamond Express Double. A fast diesel powered double. A classic!

Mount Snow: The Beartrap Double. Rocking tunes with entertaining bumps below on Beartrap.

Magic: The Red Chair. Fun to watch skiers tackle Redline.

Loon: The East Basin Double. The best way to access Loon's best trails in the East Basin. Unfortunately, it's been designated a weekend chair lately which are the days you don't want to be at Loon.

Sugarloaf: Timberline Quad. This beefy lumbering FGQ takes you to the mountain's best terrain.

Sugarbush: The Castlerock Double. A spaced out double that brings you to the top of Sugarbush's legendary Castlerock.

Sugarbush: The Valley House Double. I love this clunky old double up "The Mall".

Sugarbush: The Slidebrook Express. Probably one of the most fun rides.

Mad River Glen: The Single Chair. Obviously one of the coolest rides in the Northeast.

Ah!

Totally forgot about the Bear Trap double. Good call Greg. Add that to my list.

Sounds like fun about 10 years ago..Now that I have two little girls, I can't see myself skiing no fall zones.
