Killington - South Ridge (or "Fridge") Triple. It actually goes around in a triangle. About halfway up it takes a left turn over two consectutive bullwheels. People riding it for the first time can be "thrown" for a surprise if they're not aware of it.

Rode in this baby since I was 3. Spent one winter and 2 summers working on it and repainted the outside of both cabins once. It was a blast to ride in the 'crows nest' on top where it attatches to the cables.

Horray For Jay!!!!!

What a great thread. Thankles to all. :)

THese are classic, I learned to ski at windham and have not been back for over 15 years. I used to think how big it was (compared to butternut and vernon valley).
Thanks for the pixs

Favorite lift? By the ankles up over my head. Oh, you mean ski lift! Ha! DC, baby

Marmottes3 at Alpe d'Huez is rapidly becoming a favourite because in 180 seconds it gets you back to the top of this...

The cinder blocks to help prevent blowing in the wind, and at 6 years old I found it entertaining to watch the lift attendant push us to the end of the station and tug the rope...kind of like the car wash. Unfortunately I don't have my own pictures of it but these will have to do.

Ha!

The Easter Egg gondola! So many memories in that thing. The craziest was when we rode one that literally had a hole in the floor about the size of a cantalope. You could get your boot through it if you wanted to. I remember riding it as a little kid with my dad, bro in law, and uncle and the four of us barely fitting. There are a few kicking around N Conway:
