I really like the HS lifts when there are more then one, but when its just one on a mountain, it is kinda annyoying becasue the other lifts seem so slow in comparision. Personally i dont mind unless the fg lift is like 15 minutes long.

Loveland doesn't really need high-speed lifts, unless they were to replace Chair 2; the thing has something like 260 chairs and stops all the time for beginners. Otherwise- lifts like chairs 1 and 6 don't take that long, and you still get plenty of runs in.

Does anyone know why they have decided not to remove chair 5 yet?
Maybe if all their busses broke down they would still have a way to move skiers?

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.

I hadn't heard about that. I know a number of years back it dropped a chair but it has run since then.
How about the poma. Does it ever run?

I'm glad to hear that an older lift like that poma is still up and running.
Its really wierd having to dodge people on the catwalk that the poma crosses.

I don't know if Chair 5 is licenced, but it is in operating condition. It's starting to sound like Outrigger at Winter Park. Keep it up. Tear it down. No, keep it up. I wish they'd operate it, as the shuttle service is kind of hit or miss weekdays.

I've heard that Loveland is not planning to upgrade their lifts any time soon, so we are stuck with what is there.

Isn't it odd that "politics" is made up of the word "poli" meaning many, and "tics" meaning blood-sucking creatures?

I wouldn't say we're stuck with anything. The only really long ride there is chair 2 from the bottom, but with the mid-load there's no reason to go all the way to the bottom. Plus you can access the mid-load from chair 1, which gives you another run to break up the lift rides.
