    This is one of those rare detachables that’s only accessible from a fixed grip lift.

        Nordic Express at Nordic Valley. You have to ride Apollo to access it.

          The one at Castle is like that, the only access is the Huckleberry triple.

        Well, technically Kensho is accessible from the Peak 7 superchairs via Wanderlust, but it’s a pretty flat traverse. As such, Zendo is the primary way into Peak 6.

    Old Homewood Express at Homewood is another to add to the list.

      Also, Crystal Express at Diamond Peak can be added. Though Lodgepole Quad has a loading carpet, it is technically not a detachable lift.

      It is a nice one. Kind of reminds me of Navajo Express at Brian Hea
