The original summit lifts were the South and North doubles, built by Carlevaro and Savio in 1964. They ran up either side of the Rocket trail. This lift was originally called the Summit Triple. It ran on an alignment between the Comet and Rocket trails that is no longer in use today and replaced the South Double, which ran up looker’s left of the Rocket trail. When the Comet Express was built, it was relocated to looker’s right of the Rocket Trail to replace the North Double.
The old line of this lift above the halfway point can still be seen and was used as a double diamond trail (“Quantum Loop”) up until about 10 years ago when an unfortunate fatality occurred and the trail was closed off for good
This is similar to Centennial Lift at Brundage Mountain, Idaho but Centennial is longer with 175+ chairs and 24 towers. (Believe me, it takes forever to ride.)
