When it gets busy the lift goes down. It went down a lot. I’m an instructor. We take the guests on this as the first lift but its much too steep and it breaks down, the heron was more reliable, Bob Heron really knew how to build a good lift…. We usually take novice all the way up Red Lady and down Houston, its better for them
Peachtree is a triple. “To help celebrate Crested Butte’s 60th anniversary season, Peachtree will open for winter 2021-22 as a new, three-person fixed-grip lift serving beginner terrain at the base of the resort.”

Skytrack can never put one of these together right. Already problems with it especially when loaded to capacity.

The Crested Butte trail map now lists this lift as a triple, is that to help reduce downtime? If not, why is it now a triple?
