Double-Doubles

There is another double-quad at Brandywine in Ohio.

Jiminy Peak had one with the Novice and Exhibition chairs. West side turned into a HSS, East side turned into triple, double towers becoming standalone.

It was a riblet.

Nice list obienick.  I claim no exclusive rights to make lists and very much appreciate when others do!  As you may have noticed, it can be time consuming.

Ski Big Bear had a double modified to a double - double a few years ago. Thundercloud 1 & 2.

woodcore

Mount Peter in Warwick, NY has ½ a double double.

Shall we call Mt. Peter’s a double-nought? I haven’t been to Bromley in a long time but isn’t their East Meadow chair a double-nought? Is that what the Sherburne at Burke was?

If you count double-noughts, Mountain Creek/Vernon Valley had one.  

 It might’ve been the all time optimistic install; despite being half its intended capacity, it seldom had a line even when the summit chairs were 45 minute waits.  The terrain top-to-bottom was a snooze even by the lowest banana belt standards.

Killington Snowshed double

Big Boulder has the Merry Widow double - double.

Loon had the West basin Hall doubles 1 and 2. They have been removed.

Blue Mountain does not have a double-double. They have twin lifts that do not have common towers.

Then the Killington Double Chair post would be the same situation.

Wisp in Maryland has 2 triples mounted on the same towers

sugarloaf

Shawnee, PA Lookout Double Chair - I think this is a double-double.

NJSki

In-N-Out Burger has the greatest double/double of all time
