"I think people resist freedom because they're afraid of the unknown. But it's ironic....That unknown was once very well known. It's where our souls belong....The only solution is to confront them--confront yourself--with the greatest fear imaginable. Expose yourself to your deepest fear. After that, fear has no power, and fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free." -Jim Morrison

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.

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

The Geronimo Triple at Sunrise. A solid 25-30 minutes to access 1100' vert of Northern Arizona's finest snow.
We heard you in our twilight caves, one hundred fathom deep below, for notes of joy can pierce the waves, that drown each sound of war and woe.

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

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.

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

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.We heard you in our twilight caves, one hundred fathom deep below, for notes of joy can pierce the waves, that drown each sound of war and woe.

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