Although it is a Dopplemyare Lift It’s Definitely Not A Direct Drive. Very Loud And Noisy At The Loading Point A Big Turn Off ☝️👎 No Magic Carpet Conveyor Loading System, 👎, No Protection of the Harsh Winter 🥶 Elements, Bumpy Slow Ride even though “They “ Consider It High Speed. Think Everyone Should Look At BIG SKY RESORT Who Is Certainly Setting The Stardard On What Is And Isn’t A Viable Ski Resort And Why Big Sky Resort Is The Leaders in Truly Having The Most Technology Advanced Chairlift Network In All Of North American.

That is insane. First time seeing something like this, the engineering is WILD

I've ridden the old Swifty in her new location a couple times! She is still alive as the Bucksaw Express at Sugarloaf.

This chair has some good vert. Fun chair to lap

Brings back memories of my childhood learning how to ski in the early 1980s when it was an old 2 person chair like Bannock

Beautiful! I love the golden sunset! Please keep these coming! Thank you so much!

😂this ski area lifts are so old and antique compared to the Biggest Skiing In America 🇺🇸 Big Sky Resort Which Features A Entire Fleet Of Brand New D-Line Products From Dopplemyare . The First Ever 8 Pack In North America Ramcharger 8. Look 👀 At How Slow And Loud It Is.

This lift was nearly identical to the lift I used to work at, which was built just one year after this one. I forget the terminal specification, but I think if I'm not mistaken they were Doppelmayr second-generation terminals. Very iconic design that has been phased out.

Big Sky seems reluctant to get Ironhorse replaced, which baffles me. It's a big chokepoint when trying to travel from Swift Current to Moonlight. Hopefully a new HSQ will be put in.

Two videos in one day?

Alta should allow snowboarders.

I didn't know penguins could operate lifts.......

I wish the U.S had more Cabriolet's, they're really just a low-budget gondola with better views. Also, congrats on snagging the Epic pass! Looks like you'll be having a great winter in Park City / Deer Valley, new lifts for a lot of places in Utah this season.

I used to love going to Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, and Keystone! Those were the "big 3" that we always went to. I've seen a lot of your videos, and I really like them! Do you plan on going to Breckenridge, which was my favorite? Or Keystone? They have a lot of lifts, especially Breckenridge! Breckenridge is big, too! I'd highly recommend it!

Almost time

This will be the one remaining fixed grip lift on the hill soon with Becker being upgraded to a high speed quad next season.

Way too slow

Can't believe the top terminal sits right on top of the terminal of the former Lift 5

Looking forward to these mornings

With 7A, I think they should get a 3 leg return terminal from Sandia Peak. They have a Stadeli that was decommissioned in 2017. Its towers and return terminal are still up, as well as the drive terminal. The 3 leg terminal is super rare and only 1 still exists. Hopefully Taos can save it, and a few towers

That flyover on the downhill side is so iconic, and will be missed. Looking forward to the new 4-CLD improvement for next year!

All the lifties in Copper's back bowls do a great job, and Three Bears definitely got that slide technique down pat. I remember the last time I went, the liftie's at Blackjack had a speaker mounted on the the outside of the shack so that everyone in the que waiting to load Three Bears hears the Grateful Dead while waiting in line. It was so sick to hear Scarlet Begonias and other Dead tunes while riding uphill, it's one of the best vibes in Colorado.

I remember riding Bannock as a kid in the early 1980's. The liftee had to grab the chair with one hand and me with the other to scoop me into the fast moving chair that was kinda high off the ground. That guy was a pro. Lots of fond memories of Targhee

Decent lift, seen better conditions. 6/10.

ts took 10 minutes?? never new it was so slow

" 'Cause your name was Covid?" 🤣 That's a funny lady!😀 Thanks Anders, I love the vids.

So long subbe. The new lift should be up fast though

Is January a good time for snow at Taos? I can ski up to single black diamonds but I’ll probably try to push that. Some of my buddies coming along have never skied though

Best lift at the resort, hands down.

Estimated speed is 870 fpm.

I love ski lifts but probably not as much as you do. This is a depressing video for sure. It gets really gnarly around 2:40. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGGwemaedpWogpY

Why?

Kinda funny how this video was recorded at the start of last year, and yet it’s only now been posted

This lift will be replaced with a Doppelmayr uni-g high speed quad in the summer of 2026.

Thanks for recording this! Another fast Poma detachable chairlift! Check out the trail called "Rambo." Now, it's up to you-if you do decide to ski down it. It's the steepest tree-cut run in North America-with a 55° pitch. ♦♦ _EX_

These Poma express chairlifts at Crested Butte are fast! Nice recording! Thanks!

Fast!

@0:48 Hey, how bout that?! Greetings from Wausau!

Snowbasin will be replacing this lift with a Leitner-Poma high speed quad for the 2025-2026 season.

This sounds like the Gemini or the zephyr at Winter Park

This was Doppelmayr's original attempt at a D-line lift in the US, but it's also their first time installing a direct drive in the US.

Beautiful! I really love the snow in the gorgeous, golden sun!

Awesome! These Poma chair lifts are running fast, at least on this day of recording! It looks like it's at full-speed, too! I miss skiing so much! Thanks for sharing these!

You have quality videos! I haven't been skiing in decades. I used to go to Breckenridge, Keystone, and Copper, mostly. Those were fun times! I wish I lived there! This lift runs fast, too! If that isn't full-speed, than, wow! Thanks for sharing these!

yeah this is king con

This is King Con.

It's getting replaced by a Doppelmayr D-Line high speed 8 named Madison 8.

black folks don't like skiing and the snow is white.... That means that snow is racist

yep its getting replaced with a D-line 8 pack

That’s actually Saddleback
