Based on that third photograph, the six pack has a part where the line goes downhill, and it has a steep climb above treeline. Additionally, from a Google Earth analysis, the upper terminal of the six pack is approximately at 12,300 feet, which is going to make it the highest high speed six pack in Colorado (as the previous holders had been the Super Bee at Copper at approximately 12,012 feet and the Panoramic Express at Winter Park at 12,060 feet). Now the line I guesstimated to measure the lift brings me to assume its maximum uphill steepness is 47%, with an average slope of 27.5%, which is slightly steeper than the Mercury SuperChair for a comparison. In short, by adding Peak 6, this will make Breckenridge the first resort in Colorado to have three high speed six packs (as they already have Quicksilver Super6 and the Independence SuperChair).
