Are there any resorts with more than 4 HSS's? I know PCMR has 4 of them, and that other mountain that was mentioned before

[SkiBachelor]

That resort you mean is Stratton. But there are a lot of resorts in Europe that have more than 4 six packs.

[edmontonguy]

And Blue Mountain in Ontario

Any more in the US?

[KZ]

Alright, heres a good one. Where was the second Express Triple constructed in the US, and in what year? What is the name of the lift now?

[floridaskier]

I only know of one express triple in America, Sunnyside at Alta, but thats definetly not it, it was built like 5 years ago

[SkiBachelor]

I think the 2nd HST was built on the east coast by Von Roll.

[KZ]

hmmm. What year was that lift built. I am thinking of another one.

[SkiBachelor]

Well, it was before 1988 because it's not in my SAM stats and I remember seeing it on snowjournal.com a while ago.

And just a rumour i heard was that PCMR may get a 5th HSS if they upgrade King Con to a HSS which could happen.

[SkiBachelor]

Interesting I haven't seen any plans for it. I will keep an eye out for it though, but the last thing I saw online was the Gondola that would connect both DV and PCMR together and those plans have been scraped.

[iceberg210]

It wasn't anything in stone or even worthy of rumour status just something I heard that PCMR had been kicking around if needed

That would be good, King Con gets some enormous lines and it's still in good enough shape to possibly be used somewhere else on the mountain (at least it looks that way)

Fastest Lift in the USA would be a tram. Jackson Hole's might be the fastest since it was completely rebuilt not too long ago.

I think that the tram at Snowbird is faster than the one at Teton Village

My Fiance worked at Perisher Blue for 3 seasons before coming to Deer Valley....she's going home to ski there so I'll have her get some detailed pictures of that ridiculous 8 seater :)

[SkiBachelor]

Oops, I totally forgot. I looked for them a while back but never found them, but I will continue to look.
