WORST chairs in the US

[rideit]

I'll start, That chair at Loveland that brings you across the parking lot.

[Rooster]

Supreme or Wildcat at Alta. Peruvian at Snowbird.

[Humble]

Eagles Rest

Okay, I don't know what's worse, the chair, or the fact that I've ridden it, but there's this chair that goes between 2 different parts of Mountain Creek and it moves slower than I could walk. In ski boots. Through the snow.

Well, pretty much everything about that place is shitty, but this really took the cake.

When is the last time that chair operated?
I've never seen it spinning.

[LightRanger]

Nugget Chair. At Boreal.

It was, quite literally, the shortest chair in the world for a long time, until it was beaten out by one in Japan.

Good to teach children on though.

Me either. I'd be surprised to hear that they run that.

I'm pretty sure almost ALL the worst chairs are in the midwest. You guys are spoiled. But they're better than nothing!!!

[fightoffyourdemons]

Bruno's chair at Timberline.

[DirkaDirkaJack]

sonnet on mount ashland. the terrain isn't even steep enough for beginners to learn on...

[Phill]

Brooks chair at stevens pass. Goes nowhere, and does so reeeeeeeeeeeeeallly slowly

[Crock]

This would be a terrible chair

[toast2266]

Alta rope tow, when used as a chair, is uncomfortable.

[smmokan]

Funny, I was thinking Chair 2 at Loveland, when riding it from top to bottom.

[butterscotch]

The Geronimo Triple at Sunrise. A solid 25-30 minutes to access 1100' vert of Northern Arizona's finest snow.

Crying.

Hands down winner of Gaper of the year

[Fat City]

Pomerelle Mountain, in general.
Has anyone else actually braved this atrocity?

[dumpy]

That sounds like the quad at Burke. It really doesn't go that far, but is very slow and holy fuck my spleen is starting to freeze cold.

then again, it keeps the goods from getting overcrowded, so maybe its actually a great chair.

[Beakjones]

If any yoopers know the Voyagers Highway Quad at Indianhead in Wakefield... that was shitty when I was 5, 20 years ago, and I guess it's still around

[Bandit Man]

The double chair that functions as a single chair from the parking lot of Mt. Baldy in SoCal. Painfully slow and kills the buzz on a pow day if you don't get in line early.

[gatorboy]

I'm pretty sure almost ALL the worst chairs are in the midwest.

QFT - Cannonsburg Quad = non-detachable "high-speed" quad that leave you with bruised hamstrings

Alta rope tow, when used as a chair, is uncomfortable.

Hilarious when it lifts him up

[schwerty]

The Griz chair at Snowbowl always pissed me off. That thing can't spin any slower.

[bornincolorado]

the gondola that takes you from the parking lot to the bottom of the mountain at brek. fuck that fucking fucked up POS.

Nah. Burke is cool and that chair does access some good stuff. The Geronimo chair probably accesses the best terrain on the mountain (this of course is relative) and you have to watch it go by very slowly.

I think the old Deer Park chair at Bridger deserves honorable mention, even though it accessed great terrain and was never crowded. But for the year that they only loaded every other chair because it couldn't handle full capacity and was so old that they couldn't get any spare parts -- pretty sketch.

somebody please get that fkn gaper his own thread

[åsanisse]

It's funny how americans like to complain about their lifts... Your oldest lift is younger than the average of lifts in yurrp.
