Jim,
Hope your summer is going great!
Thanks for the pictures, especially the ones of the western ski lifts. There is nothing I know of in the skiing world like watching the experts' experts going down the near vertical terrain under the Supreme lift at Alta.

Holy Cow...I just looked at the first link. Those are beautiful!

Grant rocks, simply dazzling. Thanks for the link.

Thanks Jim. Great stuff!

I am a bit disappointed to not see any eastern lifts. My #1 would be the single at Mad River. The double would also have to be in the top 10. Others: The summit lift at Whiteface, Quad at Stowe, Tram at Jay (I know it's a tram but it gets cold and windy there).

Others?

I think everyone's favorite is that big lovely orange plastic thing at Timberline.

this might help cool ya off also!

Nice one Chaga. Maybe the best lift in the east is no lift at all but the open slope at Whitegrass.
