I'm disappointed no one has mentioned one of my all-time favorites. Another lift from this same mountain has mentioned, but not this little beauty? I only enjoyed a handful of rides on this lovely gondola due to its recent retirement (and my only being 18, started riding it at age 6), but they were all entertaining. 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:

The Marte Lift, Las Lenas Early Sept 2001. They said it snowed 9 meters the night before we showed up. The resort was closed for about 10 days prior do to the storm. They had to dig out the lift at the top bowl! We needed a snorkel all week. Ignore the dates on the pics they are wrong. You can see the bottom half of the lift behind us in the last pic, it puts it into perspective.

Craigieburn was my first experience with a nutcracker when I went to NZ, and its one hell of a ride. Had no problems with it but man its scary as to be whipping by the pulleys with your fingers inches away

Grizzley chair at Bear Valley 3/2/07
This was the first day the lift was open last year.
Many huge grins at the bottom that morning.

the ride to Peak - ski WHISTLER!!!

Bunny hill lift at Sundown. Not the most stellar lift there but I really like the mid-western sunset.

A little more steepness can be found under the Pali at A-Basin

Pour out a little liquor for the tram

Nostalgia = Old P-dog chair at the Bird late 70's to mid 80's, pre brutal grooming, (they winch silverfox now ferchrissakes). It was almost an event unto itself while the rest fought for pow--bump skier ruled on Peruvian. Stu O'Brien (RIP buddy), Jonjo and Christy too, Dean the Machine J-Dog (how many patrollers ski bumps all day on days off?), GE Joe and Cubby, (aka superchunk), The Wilson girls from the Steakpit, Jen was often with Greta("Liners" is keeping Stu company) later on a teenage chick named Ulmer showed up and willed herself into a world class bump skier...Rick Shaner, Mikey Grey, Timmy the bump fag. Alison Brown...

...the list goes on the chair is gone and who hung the rubber chicken from tower 4 every time there was a bump contest?
