What is your favorite chairlift ?

My 3 favorite:

1st Paradise @ Lake Louise
2nd T.G.V @ Tremblant
3rd Continental Divide @ Sunshine Village

Note: They are all Poma's

[vancouverguy]

My three favorites are the Solar Coaster, Wizard, and 7th Heaven lifts at Blackcomb.

It depends on what I am looking for in the lift...

[KZ]

mine are based on terrain just so you all know. My favorite chairlift, as in the lift is probably gold coast or headwall at squaw. Favorite lift is the Funitel at Squaw

[SkiBachelor]

I don't have one actually. I haven't ridden enough chairlifts to have a favorite.

Any CTEC Stealth 3 (Quincy and Ruby at DV, Cabriolet @ The Canyons, Baldy & Sugarload @ Snowbird/ALTA), and a well-kept Doppelmayr, which is hard to come by in Utah besides for Snowbasin (which I have yet to visit)

I hate the idea of a combined lift, but I like the lift itself.

[edmontonguy]

I'll have to go with the Eagle Express @ Marmot

I was close, the D and the F keys are right next to each other, and you'll notice that I make tons of typing mistakes here, not on purpose, byt just out of bad typing skills.

Either way, it's a cool lift, a Stealth 3 with an adjustable terminal and depression sheaves attached to the bottom terminal, something I"ve never seen on a CTEC lift

[Whistler]

Garbanzo Express at Whistler. Couldn't ask for a better lift. It's got the thickest and softest seat padding in the world, clean, vandall free chairs, footrests, and it's only three years old so it still looks brand new.

[SkiBachelor]

Yea, Garbanzo!!! I really like that lift too. Too bad I only road it once while I was at Whistler.

[liftmech]

I'll jump on the Garbanzo bandwagon as well, for all the above reasons. You could fall asleep on that lift, it's so comfy :---: I also like C-2 at Alpental (terrain), C-6 at Crystal (views/terrain), and C-3 at Baker (for those who aren't familiar with it, it's an up-and-over type of lift with short steeps on one side and long cruisers on the other).

[Kicking Horse]

does anyone have any pics Garbanzo Express?

[Whistler]

I am going to go up FOR SURE!!!! tommorow, I had to finish some homework this week so i didn't have any time to go up. I'll get some of Garbanzo, as well as those Yan towers on the creekside gondola.
