Skiing Trivia

One could argue that the Summit Express, the Bluebird and Ego Alley (Mt. Snow) all go up the same trail.

Those are parallel profiles yet 3 distinct and separate trails.

I suppose Seasons, Tumbleweed, and Sundance lifts don't fit the criteria because the trails have different names now?

Inverness at Sugarbush has 3 but 2 are private...

Snowshed at K fit the bill until Snowshed 1 was removed.

Hmmmm

Killington has three chairs on Snowshed slope for some time. Two doubles and HSQ.

Sugarbush and Killington are what I was looking for

I think Beaver, Little Beaver and Gondola 2 would have work for Mount Snow.

Where's that place in Canada we had a picture of lately that had a double and 2 T-bars all going up the same trail?

Just keeping things moving: newpylong is up for the next question, although if nelsbeer wanted to toss in a question based on his last answer, I don't think anyone would object.

newpylong

Go for it by all means I'll need some time to think of one.

Don't know of lately, but Stoneham has/had a double and 2 t-bars up one of their hills

Same zip code sure, not the same trail.

Snowshed at Killington.

Little Spruce at Stowe? Similar to Mt Snow might not be considered same trial.

I count five lifts, and with respect to another thread, seven fences!

How do you see five? I see 4.

Yeah I got messed up as SJ came up where I left off, not at the most recent post.

Though the original question didn't specify "currently has", and the question poster was looking for killington ( and I hadn't looked ahead, promise !).

maybe I'm seeing things! L to R I get t-bar, t-bar, platter (unused), center pole double, and then my guess is a platter but maybe that guy is not on a lift. it's fuzzy and could be an optical illusion

The Le Relais picture has four lifts: a Samson t-bar, Mueller t-bar, Mueller double chair, and pomalift. The Samson lift ascended about 3/4 of the way to the summit. The trestle bridge is no longer there; the gulley was filled in, allowing the liftline to become a summit to base trail of its own.

rickbolger

Ha! Optical illusion then. This guy looks like he's knock-kneed on a platter going up, with his poles crossways in front of him. tree branch plays the part of the overhead cable, and some stray line looks like an unused wire ahead of him. But I guess he's skiing knock-kneed downhill....and the rest of it is just coincidental noise. Funny how the eye can play tricks!
