I think only the K-1 at Killington whenever it was installed, and the 6-pack at Blue Mtn. this year.

2006-2007

Over Easy Gondola @ Stowe

hmmm...I don't know about that one. What defines a lift? Playing devil's advocate here.

 

[pepperdawg]

The Funitel at Squaw in 98(?) 99?


Mineral basin HSQ at Snowbird in 00/01

probably many more....

 

[Grassi21]

I rode The New Summit Quad at Catamount this year. It was relocated from somewhere in NY so it wasn't brand spanking new.

 

[Greg]

Jeez. I'll probably think of a few more:

• Berkshire Express at Jiminy
• North Peak Quad at Loon
• Highline Quad at Butternut
• Magic Carpet at Sundown

Probably some new lifts at Mount Snow in the mid 90's. When was the K1 installed? Probably the first or second year on that one. I definitely plan to ride the new Single at MRG this season!

 

[wa-loaf]

Both Super Quads at Sugarloaf and the King Pine Chair.

3. Superquad: Sugarloaf
4. K1: Killington
5: Skyeship Express: Killington
6. 6 pack: Boyne Mt
7: American Flyer: Copper Mt
8. Village Gondola: Steamboat, CO
9. Vista (Rasta) Bahn: Vail Village
10. Whitepass quad: Fernie
11: Timber quad: Fernie
12: Summit T: Panorama, BC
13. Whatever they do at Mt Revelstoke this coming season

There has to be others, but that'll do.............

I may not be totally perfect with my accuracy, but here it goes:

(1) Straightbrook Quad (Gore)
(2) North Quad (Gore)
(3) Bear Mountain Gondola (Gore)

Ones I am pretty sure about but not quite as confident:
(4) Topridge triple (Gore)
(5) Skyeship (Killington)
(6) Face Lift (Whiteface)
(7) Cloudsplitter Gondola (Whiteface)

There may be others, like maybe the first year of the Castlerock replacement at SB South and I might have been on the Green Mountain Express first edition in its opinion year at SB North.

For me:

Jay Peak's Green Mountain Flyer

Sugarbush's Green Mountain Express
Burke's Sherburne Express
Pats Peak's Turbulence Triple
Loon's North Peak Express

Jay Peak's Metro Quad (former Green Mountain Slug from SB)

I just missed Zermatt's new gondola in 2002.
