Just a few small corrections to the list. Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort has 3 detachable quads that travel at 1200 feet per minute. Shooting Star Express, Hood River Express and Vista Express. I believe you had the Hood River express listed at 1100 fpm. The top of your list also showed the Mt. Hood Express traveling at 1200 fpm; while there is a lift with that name, it goes 1000 fpm.
