I went to one of those when I was in Montana while filling up at a gas station.
I guess that's not the lift that I was thinking off. I presume that might be the HSQ going to Alpine Meadows but I could be wrong. It's a Doppelmayr CTEC UNI-G/GS.

The Kum & Go's in Wyoming used to display a sign saying, "100% Customer Satisfaction Guarnateed!"
Its been a long time since I have been to one but it is an interesting name, I to wonder what made them come up with that name.

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.
"You could say that a mountain is alot like a woman, once you think you know every inch of her and you're about to dip your skis into some soft, deep powder...Bam, you've got two broken legs, cracked ribs and you pay your $20 just to let her punch your lift ticket all over again"

A little on the sexually explicit side but i have a story about weird things you see on a road trip. Besides the numerous weird things we saw while not driving there is one incident we saw while driving that was pretty scaring.
Driving through North Texas about halfway from the border with Ok and Amarillo we were the unsuspecting victims of witnessing the oral act in an SUV from New Jersey as we passed. IT was pretty early in the morning and the guy was also pulling a trailer. If they could have pulled off to the side of the road for decency and for the safety of everyone else travelling down the highway it wold have been much appreiciated.

Well it might be the Spanish Peaks HSQ at Big Sky but it seems odd that he was heading that way instead of traveling through canada. Maybe the gas prices are cheaper in the states than Canada?

Because the Quebec plant is too small and I don't think that Doppelmayr CTEC wanted to layoff all those workers who were previously building the fixed grip lifts. Before that, the HSQs were being built in the Sacramento and Golden, Colorado. Plus, there is the shipping costs.

Yes, Canadian quality on the high speed lifts. 
I wonder why the fixed grip chairlifts are built at the SLC factory instead of the Québec factory.

Because most of CTEC's designs for fixed grip lifts are now Doppelmayr's, so why not build them at the former CTEC plant?
So when I first moved down here, I drove over Fremont Pass through the Climax mine, and then saw a Kum 'n' Go several miles later...
