Mt Hood Meadows, OR - Vista Express (Leitner-Poma)

This high speed quad was built in 2004 by LPA, and runs up the left side of the ski area. It's not as fast as the others but still moves a decent speed.

I'm curious about that lift speed

I work at this chair most of my days. Sometimes it'll go 1000fpm, with 1100fpm being it's fastest. It all just depends on what the wind is doing. It sits up by Vista Ridge on Mt. Hood above the treeline(about 6,700 feet or so) and it gets pretty dang windy up there even when it's calm at the bottom. Lol it's kind of a long chair even on full speed so sometimes it feels way to fuckin slow😂

I don’t think it runs at this speed often, almost ever that is, but it can run at 1,200 FPM
