Ones that come to mind:

Gore: Burnt Ridge Quad, Top Ridge Triple.

Pico: Little Pico Triple

Killington: Sunrise Village Triple, Northbrook Quad.

I don't think that lift has yet to see three full chairlifts in a row.

Maybe due to one of the worst snow reports out there. They report for the last 7 days only. Unless you look the day before you wouldn't be able to tell how much snow they got in a 24hr period

F at Windham and the old Triple at Jiminy Peak have a similar math dynamic.
They both run parallel to the new high speed lifts (Quad at W, Sixpack at JP).
The "Fast" lifts go bottom to top in six and a half minutes, if they do not stop.
The old slow triples take 13 minutes bottom to top.
Now, when there is a ten minute wait for the "Fast" lift and a zero minute wait for the slow lift, which one gets you to the top first??????????

Yeah I know what you mean. You get on 87 drive 3.5 hrs. Get off 24 go straight for 25 minutes. Gore is on your left.

I think he meant the lift, not the mountain. (Also, in case anyone's looking for directions here, it's exit 23 off of the Northway (which is exit 24 off of the Thruway) if you are coming from way south.. Exit 25 off the Northway if you get on at Exit 24 or 26+.)
