You are right.

Don't know if there are any other resorts that have all lifts configured clockwise or all lifts configured counterclockwise. I mean, Vail's a mostly-counterclockwise resort because of the 16 high speed quads and six packs, only four are clockwise configured - Riva Bahn Express, Northwoods Express, Mountaintop Express, and Orient Express, and a few minor lifts like Sun Up and Little Eagle.

I do know of some resorts where all lifts of a certain type are clockwise/counterclockwise: all of Copper Mountain's triple chairlifts are counterclockwise, both six packs at Winter Park are clockwise, all five high speed quads at Steamboat are counterclockwise, etc.

Park City's were all counterclockwise until 2008. Now Crescent and Three Kings are clockwise

At Sunday River we have 14 chairlifts - 7 run clockwise, and 7 run counterclockwise.

All two chairlifts at Loveland Valley are counterclockwise. All of the lifts at the Basin are counterclockwise with the exception of Chair 8.
