sunburst and quantum have bubbles and only the quantum has couch seats. there is another lift besides the quantum with.couch seats that had them put on a few years ago because the people who owned mcmansions off it complained that it took forever and was uncomfterble

This is meant to be more of a riddle

how does the sunburst not have couch seats?

sunburst has standard bubble chairs. still comfterble but not full padding as the quantum will have and the other lift

Sorry to 'burst' your 'bubble', but Sunburst and Quantum have the same exact seat pads- Sunburst x6 and Quantum x4. Sunburst also has a 3mm heating element under the seat pad.

what i thought from pics^^^^

The sunburst might, but okemo keeps putting out that the quantum will have couch chairs apposed to the sunburst, maybe i just fell into a bit of their advertising

I dunno man, sunburst was probably the most comfortable lift I have ridden. I legit kinda sank into the seat by unload time.

I rode it today and i realize now that it has couch chairs, I guess you get spoiled at okemo to the point couch chairs feel normal. back on topic, what is the third chair with couch seats?

I skied there last winter and the only lift with the couch seats was Sunburst. I rode all the other detachables and none of them had anything more than normal padding. It was midweek late in the season, so the only fixed grip open was South Ridge A or B, not sure which one. Those bubble lifts are about the only thing Okemo has going for it. All the trails are parallel to each other and ski exactly the same. They also have overpriced lift tickets and lodging, and on weekends, an outdoor version of the DMV.

and their lodge setup requires 2 lift rides to the main lift... I think they should build a lodge by SS

it is a fixed grip with the couch chairs actually
