OK, funny question here. When I go skiing with my boys, tower 5 is my youngest son's tower as he is five. Same for tower 9 for the older one. They however keep asking me if there is any tower 47 on any lift. So, does anyone know of a chair or gondi with at least 47 towers?
Thanks,

As far as I can tell from a quick count on Google Earth, the Silver Mountain Gondola (the longest single stage gondola in North America), has 50 towers.

I don't think it was quite that many, I remember 40 when I rode it a couple of years ago.

Sandia Peak Lift 3 Riblet double has 42 .

Or maybe this is all pure gibberish—a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow—to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested . . . Res ipsa loquitur (it speaks for it self). Let the good times roll." HT

Thanks SD, that works for me. I did not check it as I thought there were fewer (kind of stupid as I used to ski WB all the time). I assume though it has two sets of numberings as it is two cables and more or less is two gondolas that transfer cabins between them (I believe each section can be operated independently) as opposed to one very big gondola.
But thanks, I will go with that (and who knows maybe the new Blackcomb Gondi will have more than 48 by then)
