yes, and dont forget the surface lifts such as the summit express at polar peak
and back when i was young, Winter Park's summit express always brought me great curiosity to how it worked.

Copper has A, A-1, B, C, C-1, E, F, H, I, K, L, M, O-1, R, and S. D was planned but never built, G and J were removed (so was I but it was replaced), there was never an N, P, or Q on the plans, and T was removed. That should account for the holes in our lettering system.

Ok, I'm stumped. I know where G & J were, but what and where was T?

'T' was actually a handle tow lift which ran perpendicular to the tops of "The Glide" and "Rugrat" carpets at Union Creek. 'D' was originally going to be the "American Eagle" HSQ running paralell on the left (looking uphill) to the former 'F' covered chair. Instead they elected to replace the 'F' chair. Nobody probably would have ridden the 'F' chair anyway with a HSQ right next to it. Correct me if I am wrong but I think the former 'F' lift was reinstalled at another resort with regular double chairs replacing the covered ones.
BTW, I miss the letter system at Copper. I asked a bus driver last year if they stopped at the lot next to the 'A' lift and got a very strange look. I had to correct myself and say "Alpine".
Back to the topic:
Least favorite lift name: Wayback (Keystone, CO)- Creativity is absolute zero
Favorite Lift Names: Gadzoom (Snowbird, UT) , Snake Creek Express (Brighton, UT)-sounds intriguing, Palivicini (A-Basin, CO), Outrigger (Winter Park, CO)- lift disappeared but nice tribute to adaptive skiers

In Germany, the autobahn is a highway, so I guess it means some kind of transportation or roadway. Google translator says 'course'
