Welcome to Midwest Ski Lifts! On this channel, I mainly focus on my passion for ski lifts and their inner workings. My main goal of this channel is to post content based on perspectives or topics that you don't typically see in normal lift videos! Enjoy!

50/50 chance of it being on wind hold.
The cabins have been replaced as of 2023 with new red CWA cabins.
This lift actually has AG-104 grips and not DT-104 grips.
this video is soooo cool
Promo-SM
Yikes, that seems like a painfully slow ride up.
This is crazy!!! 30seconds between the first and second station, and the second station is built just so that another chairlift could be built!!! I don't know this resort that well, but the operators must have had one seriously good reason to modify this gondola to this extent!
Wish every major resort town had a cabriolet. Europe may have more modern ropeways in general, but North American transport lifts are far more modern, widespread and useful than Western Europe with their cage lifts, or enclosed gondolas
Modern?
Wow... My best friend, Nice video... Beautiful place Enjoy watching this video... Have a nice day.
We actually run it at 200fpm all day. When the line is clear of public, we put it on a medium at 550fpm.
Thanks for clarifying! A liftie last year told me 700 was the end and start of day speed. By any chance can you tell me how fast crescent typically runs in the summer? It looks like its somewhere in the 600s range.
@@midwestskilifts yeppers. Crescent is still 550.
Thanks!
Wow, Hello my friend.. All the best to your channel and hope you have a wonderful day !!!
Welp, it's a wrap for the Park City projects...
Nice!
Nice motor sound! Did you record the lift ride?
I did, I never got around to uploading it last summer. It would be a long video though due to the way town operates in the Summer. The length of the lift and constant stopping and slowing made it a 30 min long video. I can upload it if you would like!
@@midwestskilifts It would be cool to see! But It's up to you.
It would take 2 hrs on a really busy day
@@medwards1993 True.
Kdhhdhdhs
Hey there ! Just found your channel ! 🙂 I followed directly
Interesting middle station
The whole angle station addition is really cool history.
Does this lift have a garage?
It has a small grip maintenance bay at the drive station!
Steamboat’s gonna relocate the bottom terminal of Christie Peak Express this summer like PC did with this gondola, but they may have to sharpen the angle station.
Awesome video! I think this lift is a perfect lift for beginners, with it being obviously a detachable. What lifts did you film here?
This trip was my second time skiing in three years, The only lifts I hit were this one, RPG, and the Cabriolet. I'm hoping to ski more but that probably won't happen until next szn. You can also expect some clips from Deer Valley!
@@midwestskilifts Gotcha! I had a Sun Valley trip planned for this year, but I'm pretty sure it's canceled. So the rest of my lift videos will only be at Bogus Basin and possibly Brundage.
I am confused is the lift attendant on meth?
Do det do det do det
Any other PC vids?
Yes, Stay tuned!
I didn't know the Cabriolet was open during night time, also what do you use to film?
I used a GoPro Hero 10 for my Winter vids
Public hours is 7am to 6pm during the winter daily. As for this summer, 930am/4pm to 7/930pm on select days for concerts. If there is a private event going, it’ll spin for public as well and hours varies.
I call these kinds of lifts "Outdoor Gondola's!"
starting sound is great. do more start up videos

This is a lift that would make more sense as a gondola, since Homestake and Carpenter exist to provide a chairlift option.
IMO Homestake’s better than High Meadow.
First comment! This lift ride looks great.
Did you get the chance to film the ride on these lifts?
I only was able to film Silver Lake Express due to time constraints, that will be out this weekend
@@midwestskilifts Okay!
Awesome to see more lift channels! I'm subbed, I also film SkiLifts on my channel.
Thanks for the sub!
Can you do red pine Gondola start up video? :)
Here’s the startup video ruclips.net/video/B0DGZDgcSBA/видео.html
Minor correction: this lift uses DT-104 grips, and the DS-104 grips are found on Doppelmayr’s earlier detachables. Otherwise, great video!
You are correct, Thank you for the catch!
Park City’s fantastic in the winter.
The motor sounds just like the K1 Gondola. They were built the same year under ASC ownership. Both lifts featured different artistic designs on the cabins, which was an idea Les Otten got from Killington's Skyeship Gondola, built in 1994 under the previous ownership. I believe The Canyons had different designs than Killington, but there aren't many pictures of it as the cabins were changed to the red color in 2010. The K1 had its cabins replaced in 2018, leaving Skyeship as the only ex-ASC gondola with the cabin art.
I wonder when Vail will replace the cabins on this lift they are pretty beat up on the inside and there are a ton of scratches on the windows. They updated the control system when the mid station was put in and I’m surprised they didn’t replace the cabins when they did all of that.
Vail was forced to replace them in 2023 because over half were broken. Locals suffered with 50% broken for years.
Nice to see he's alive still
THATS THE BEST LIFTY IN THE WORLD RIGHT THERE
This further proves that PC Lift Ops are a vibe!
