I skied loge peak twice in my life and remember the elevation being 14000 feet and more. Wikipedia now says it’s 11000 feet or so. Why would the information on the brochure say it’s 14000 feet and Wikipedia
Say a lower elevation?
This lift and the Exhibition high speed quad were crucial to making it so that it’s a two lift ride from the base up to the top of Loge Peak. Before the high speed quads, you had to take four lifts to get to the top. Exhibition I, then Exhibition II, then Cloud Nine or Olympic, and then the Loge Peak lift. Now it’s just Exhibition to Loge Peak.
We skied the Highlands back in the 70’s. I remember the Loges Chair as a double. There was a sign warning not to take this chair if you suffer from acrophobia. Hard to forget. It looks like it’s a quad now. What was the height of the Loges Chair. Thank you.

You may remember the peaks surrounding Highlands– Pyramid Peak and both Maroon Bells are 14ers and can be seen from the summit.
