Not sure if listed Colter lift length of only 4774 ft is accurate. At 1821 ft of vertical, that would give a length/rise ratio of 2.6, which would make it one of the steepest lift lines in North America. It doesn’t feel exceptionally steep… skiresort.info lists the lift as having the same vertical rise but with 1650m (5413 ft) length. Not sure where they get their data from but that ratio feels more accurate
