Sunburst chair @ Sun Peaks

Wizard @ Whistler-Blackomb.

I can't remember my first high speed quad but it was Canyon Express or Roller Coaster at Mammoth.

Eagle Express at Solitude, HSQ Von Roll CTEC

Actually, my first HSQ may have been the ill-fated Yan HSQ @ Whistler (I was under 1 year old back then)

Are you just saying that to get attention? Because I've never heard of someone less that a year old able to ski???

Actually, my 3-year old brother, Mom and Dad on May 18, 1995 (I was in a special backpack-like baby carrier)

Quickdraw Express Quad, 1995 Doppelmayr, the summer it was installed at Apex. I started skiing the year after.

Had to be early December 1986 on Nakiska's Silver Chair. The area opened a season before it would host the Olympics so a friend and I went to check it out.

Same Here! :D

my first was the adiroundack express at gore, a 85 von roll high speed triple. extreamly cool lift.

Sensation HSQ (Yan) at Sierra Ski Ranch

Mine firt ride was the heather express at boyne highlands. this was the only hsq that I rode until 4 years ago when I rode the crystal clipper at crystal mountain (MI) and then after that we went to colorado.

BTW you guys were having an debate on what should be done with the quicksilver super six to make it have a higher capacity. my opinion, they should move the existing six pack to where ever the fixed grip is that they were talking about replacing because of the new hsq at breck. (I dont know which one it is because I have never skiied there) then put in a high speed eight where the current line is.

The Quicksilver HSS at Breck is capable of moving 4000 pph the hill since it has double loading, but Breck doesn't run it that high. A lot of people have trouble loading 8 packs and if you are not use to them, it will just lead to more stops.

first high speed, the ramshead express quad at killington.

the first gondi would be the K-1 at killington on the year of its debut.

The Sunapee Express the year it opened in 1998, and now I'm one of it's forman in the winter time.

this was my first hs poma...loveland's

My first HSQ would either be at Whistler or the Screaming Eagle at Grouse. and my first poma was at Apex

My first ride HSQ ride was Thredbo 1997 "Gunbarrel Express" Pretty fun, And in 2002 we saw a boy fall from the bottom of the chair as he was trying to load on the chair, he fell about 2 meters, the ops wacked the emergency stop, the funny thing was that the chairs were bouncing and a sign on the tower next to us said" Do not bounce or swing in chairs"

Christmas Ridge HSQ @ Sun Valley. Coundn't believe the speed that thing ran at. It was a Yan that was converted after the grip fiasco.
