I'm curious, what is the typical operating speed for Detachables during Summer? (Particularly at Whistler.)

In colorado they run anywhere from 600 to 1000. I know Elk Camp Quad @ snowmass Runs 600fpm in summer.

I think it is mostly decided operational, by the use of the lift. Loading/ Unloading bikes needs a different speed than hikers. Wedding guest with heels/ elderly need a different speed. etc.

The Kaatskill flyer at Hunter Mountain runs at 550 fpm in the summer. It runs at 1100 fpm in the winter.

The Cabriolet at Mountain Creek runs about 700 fpm, but one day lat summer, I saw it run 800 fpm. It mostly runs 900 in the winter, and occasionally at 1000.
