Might Sun Peaks have the highest capacity triple and the lowest capacity quad?

An upgrade could occur but since the towers are very widely spaced, I don't think they could many more chairs. Even the HSQ version would likley be under 1000pph.
I was hoping someone on this site had a database that could quickly query for the highest and lowest capacity lifts. I have an old spreadsheet (from this site) for CO only. So I'll start a list based on that and the Sun peaks lifts
lowest capcity
FGD - Five Tress, Aspen Highlands, 600
FGT - Deep Termerity, Aspen Highlands, 1085
FGQ - Burfield, Sun Peaks 464
HSQ - Many at 1200
HSS - Super Bee, Copper, 2900
Gondola - Telluride Gondola, 1200
highest capacity
FGD - Haymeadow, Beaver Creek, 1465 (I'm skeptical but maybe it has a high capacity but they always ran it slowly, this lift was removed a few years back too)
FGT - Crystal, Sun Peaks, 2005
FGQ - Many tied at 2400
HSQ - Many at 2800
HSS - Many tied at 3600
Gondola - Steamboat, 2800 (likely higher with recent gondolas)

The lowest capacity 6-pack I've ridden is the Kaatskill Flyer at Hunter Mountain with 2,600 pph. That's actually a lower capacity than the design capacity of the Poma HSQ it replaced. It could do 3,000 pph, but it was run at 840 fpm instead of 1,000 fpm, so the capacity was around 2,400. The Kaatskill Flyer can and does run 1,100 fpm.

How about Sugarbowl (though not an uphill gondola)? With Lusten's being replaced, is that the last of the "old-time" gondolas?
