A Lift Ranking for Steamboat, CO - REMAKE
As of 2024, I have been to Steamboat eight times, and so much has changed over the last few years. Since the 2021-23 Full Steam Ahead project, I decided to make a new lift ranking for Steamboat, as our previous ranking is a bit outdated. Some lifts were removed, replaced, and modified, so it made sense for me to re-rank the lifts just to talk about them from a fresh perspective.

Unfortunately, on this trip they were all in hibernation mode. There are 105 chairs a...

    A new lift is coming to Lone Mountain's north side-Madison 8, the resort’s second eight-place and third state-of-the-art D-line chairlift, will replace the existing Six-Shooter lift in the summer of 2024. Set to open in December 2024, Madison 8 will nearly double uphill capacity out of the Madison Base, reduce ride time by 30%, and continue to add value to the Big Sky experience for years to come. The lift name and brand mark are inspired by the journey of the northern exposure ecosystem, where ski turns define the winter landscape, and the snowmelt makes its way to the Madison River in the spring. The new eight-place lift will effectively double the uphill capacity while reducing ride time, offering guests swift and comfortable access to Big Sky Resort’s north side terrain from the Madison Base Area. Madison 8 will also set a new record globally as the longest eight-place installation in the world. This new lift even trumps hunter Mtn messily install their 3rd 6 pack chairlift which is Not even close to Big Sky who now has (2) 8 packs and (3) 6 packs all D-Line Bubble Lifts. Makes Big Sky Resort The Biggest And Best Ski Resort In North America Skiing ⛷️.Along With Full Bragging Rights And Being Entered Into The Guinness Book of World 🌎 Records As Being The Longest 8 Pack Chairlift In The World 🌎!
