Stoke of the Week: Ski Lifts

Ski Lifts, sometimes known as the stairway to heaven. In salute to recent actions and subsequent postings, how about a little Blue Tram Car stoke.

Lifted from the web... there's a lift in this picture, barely visible, called "Supreme." Aptly named, IMHO.

That's the Mt. Washington Cog Railway. Next season, it's open to skiers all season long up to the Waumbek Tank. Oh yeah.

Not the best lift, but the one I've spent most of my time on, and had the most good times on with some great people.

Ober Gatlinburg, the Black Lift (even if it is red :confused: )

Anyone know this lift? Yes, it's easy if you cheat, so don't.

Ahem... I'd tell you you're wrong, but that would be rather silly, wouldn't it? However, Mr. Smartypants... might I refer you to my signature... ;)
