eaf Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 This IS big. Stevenson Express is too busy lately due to all the hotel guests, which left a big chunk of nice trails near Raceway and Rhododendron Glen inaccessible. So all too often we were finding ourselves restricted to the area served by Sullivan Express not even trying to go to the other side because we knew how long we'd need to stay in line. If they put a new express in place of e.g. Glen lift that would be awesome. Quote
eaf Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 Ah, crap. They posted video. It's a replacement for Sunbowl lift. 1 Quote
saltyant Posted October 9, 2020 Author Report Posted October 9, 2020 MAJOR UPDATE TO ALL CAMELBACK FANS ON PASR The video has been posted on Camelback's Facebook page!!! The new high speed lift appears to connect the hotel Stevenson side to the Sullivan Lift. This way hotel guests can get to the Sullivan side without having to go up Stevenson and go down all those difficult expert slopes. WOOOOHOOOO THIS IS AMAZING NEWS AND MADE MY WEEKEND, MADE MY WHOLE YEAR!!!! WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!!! 1 1 Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) That is about the lamest use for a high speed lift one could imagine. Expect the vertical is about 100 feet if that. I suppose it will slightly reduce traffic on Stevenson and add traffic to Sullivan. And let them delay opening Stevenson side. Edited October 9, 2020 by Ski2Live Live2Ski 1 1 Quote

JFskiDan Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 So Camelback is pretty much proving bunk on the myth that a high speed lift has to be so long? Rad. 1 1 Quote

Rad. Expand It's pretty long. It's just flat. It has to be the first time I have ever seen a high speed lift used to connect 2 base areas. Quote

Expand I've seen gondolas going over flat areas and exactly for the same reason, i.e. connectivity, so it's not unheard of. But still disappointing. I wish there was another fast way up than sideways. Quote
