Snowbird, UT: Mineral Basin Express

[@Sterlingclub24]

I like the look of these types of lifts

[@jtwoolley]

It is the ONLY (i mean it) way to get out of mineral basin.

[@a-line2636]

This thing needs to be a 6 pack or even an 8 pack. Lines are horrific and it is one of the longest lines at the mountain.

[@TwinSkiingLiftsRides]

A 3000 pph six pack would suffice.

[@eriksahlin7104]

@@TwinSkiingLiftsRides I think a problem is the top terminal is so constrained and has lack of free space that there might have to be intense mountain modifications to accommodate the legroom of a new terminal, but Little Cloud doesn't have that problem because of 90 degree unloading, so Mineral might need that unloading feature

@@eriksahlin7104 They could add more chairs to up the capacity if Gadzoom happens to get replaced; MBX runs more reliably than Gad-Slow.

Holy cow those lines are long! Seems like a pretty fast lift…?!

[@TwinSkiingLiftsRides]

Decently fast, except that this is the only way to get out of Mineral Basin.

[@jtwoolley]

so short

[@DeltaChairlifts5]

this is for sure the most annoying lift at the bird, i got stuck waiting 20 minutes for this.

[@TwinSkiingLiftsRides]

@@DeltaChairlifts5 This is one of those lifts that has excellent terrain, but is the only form of egress, which is what holds me back from giving it a high score.

[@DeltaChairlifts5]

@@TwinSkiingLiftsRides yeah. I'm gonna give this thing a 3/5.

[@jtwoolley]

does this thing go to 11000 feet at the top

[@TwinSkiingLiftsRides]

Sure does. The Summit Restaurant is on the same peak.
