I wanna say I last saw Easy Rider running around 2009. Even then it was only on busy days. The Summit website no longer lists it as an operational lift, but it still appears on the map. It’s a shame really, I feel like they could put it to some good use with a terrain park or maybe a permanent practice race course.
It used to be the race chair back in the day but courses were moved under the pacific crest chair for some reason. 2009 sounds about right. I used to coach the special olympics race program at snoqualmie so was up there all the time. The same terrain is served by the wildside lift so that probably entered into the decision to decommission the lift
easy rider has not run in years and is planned to get torn down

2025 update- its all gone (if i remember right) due to new wildside lift placement, so (almost) everything is gone

Just saw last weekend – only two lift towers and bottom station remain. I assume the towers will be left up indefinitely to be used as light poles.
