Those are great photos. Is it really faster than most detachable-grip chairlifts?

Weather looks great! It was very poor at Holiday Valley (just south of Buffalo, New York) this weekend. :)

I can easily say that it's the fastest Detachable i've ever been on.

Do you happen to know what the line speed is? I think most are around 5 m/sec, no?

This one is maybe a bit slower, like 4 or 4.5 m/s.

They finally re-installed the "Flèche d'argent - 68" logo, or I was blind the last time I went??

  • Interests:yo, my name is Christian, and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (Berkeley ....sort of) skiing is what I do best, and I love the mountains. Of course I love skilifts too, which is why I'm here. I'd like to learn more about them and maybe work in the Ski industry later on in life.<br /><br />Let it snow.

The speed up on Comet at heavenly is like that....except for it has a really long station, and when you get on the chair you just sit there going very slow for about 5-7 seconds, then at the last second it shoots you out. WHen I look up right after I sit down I see that the chairs are coming off the chain-driven turnaround and on to wheels, so I'm guessing thats why it needs a little extra time to start speeding up???
