Agreed. This lift serves a lot of terrain for pretty much anyone but green skiers & snowboarders, I think it might actually be the most popular lift at Silver Mountain besides the Gondola itself, which everyone has to ride!
Yeah that’s Silver Mountain most days, it’s far from the most crowded option in its area. But on the busiest days, such as weekends and mid-season powder days, this lift had pretty consistent usage. Chair 1 and 3 got lines at the end of the day when people were trying to get back to the Gondola, as well as the Gondola itself on a busy day when everyone is trying to get up and back down the mountain. But Chair 2 seems to be the most popular of all.
They still want keep the old style of skiing and don’t need to seem to upgrade as right now, they wanted to keep the snow there unlike other ski resorts were they get skied out too fast (Like schweitzer).
I’m no expert, but this one needs an hsq. It is such a long ride, I get cold by the time I get to the top.

Oddly enough, this lift seems to not get a line much of the time, at least from what i’ve seen.

The chairs almost look like Borvig with a Hall/VonRoll hanger
