The Earl’s Express doesn’t usually operate as much since really, the Skyline Express lift can also be used to lap Earl’s Bowl by taking Kelly’s Toll Road out of the area.
Lift ops doesnt have enough operators to have it open right now. More employees are arriving this week and it should be open on a regular basis very soon, along with the surface lifts. They’ve been so short handed that ski school has been staffing all of the magic carpets.
Note the Poma-logo weather vane on the top of the bottom terminal barn on all the Blue Sky lifts

This lift is justified in the lower capacity since it doesn’t really get much of a line. I’ve rarely ever encountered a line here.

This lift actually runs the full-fledged 1,100 feet per minute that lifts like it are capable of running.
