This lift has no reason to exist

That's a very interesting drive enclosure!

Is everyday that sunny? Man....

That was some good cruizin' !

This trail they advertise as a blue square…yeah F that, no! Was on it today for christ sake, WTF

Tried skiing this bitch and let me tell you, green runs boring and blue runs suicide!

This lift was built to be only a fraction of the length of its predecessor in order to make room for the Village Express. The predecessor Riblet ended adjacent to where the Sam's Knob lift ended, and having three lifts feeding into that spot would've made things rather crowded. Because the area at the top isn't as spread out as, say, points at Vail like Patrol Headquarters and Wildwood (with three lifts converging on one restaurant), or the Summit House at Keystone.

The towers and chairs on this lift and Meadows were recycled from Fanny Hill.

The motor sounds like the Skyeship Gondola at Killington, but I believe Skyeship runs at a lower gear reduction ratio, because it sounds like this when running at 1200 fpm, whereas when it runs at 1000 fpm, it sounds like a regular lift running at 800 fpm.

I’m in aspen right now 🤯🤯🤯

Way too slow for a lift this long. It should have been a gondola, which would've been easier for beginners to load.

Correction for your video description: Fanny Hill wasn't a double, it was a high speed quad that ran up to a point between towers 11 and 12, just above where Coney Glade started. At the time, to get to the summit, you rode up Fanny Hill, then rode up Coney Glade, then you could access Big Burn or Sam's Knob. Fanny Hill and Coney Glade were supplemented by a Riblet double called Burlingame. The mid-station on the Village Express isn't where Fanny Hill ended. It is, however, where Burlingame ended prior to 2005. To make room for the Village Express, Burlingame was shortened to end where the Coney Express's midstation is now located. It also received Fanny Hill's Alpha drive, and it still does in its new capacity as the Snow Park double at Montana Snowbowl. The Village Express actually also indirectly replaced the old Sam's Knob double, as that lift started at the top of Burlingame and ran up Promenade, whereas the Sam's Knob high speed quad runs up skier's right side of Slot. This was done so that all of the Sam's Knob pod's trails could be lapped via the namesake lift, as opposed to forcing people to endure a long ride on Campground if lapping the trails west of Promenade.

Maybe reducing the number of chairs to increase the chair spacing would give beginners more time to get to the loading zone. Steamboat did that with Christie Peak Express, and it works great.

Do you even turn or you just straight line it LOL?

Nice downhill run. Looking forward to a super long run some day.

Great video! Heading there from Minnesota on the 23rd of February!

If you could get a POV video with the new HSQ that would be amazing. Really appreciate your videos, Tucker! Thank you so much!

they're master plan said this lift could be replaced next year.

The speed is about 906 fpm.

Were you first chair or something? There’s no one there

Thanks for the video. By extending the bottom terminal back down to where Burlingame was we hoped to alleviate congestion at the Village Express lift, which it seems to be doing so far this season. You can access the lift from the Snowmass Mall without skiing down Fanny Hill to the VX. It's also useful for anyone wanting to get over to the Big Burn lift or Ullrhof restaurant without needing to go to the top of Sam's. Great upgrade to Snowmass Mountain!

This lift has 63 chairs.

I miss this place! Breckenridge has so many lifts now-some of them with unique builds, especially when they were first built. There were only 4 quad SuperChairs: Falcon SuperChair, Quicksilver SuperChair, Mercury (renamed to Beaver Run) SuperChair, and Colorado SuperChair, when I first skied here back in 1991. I haven't been here since 1998, and it was such a blast! I hope to get back there someday! Thank you for posting these!

This lift's operating capacity is more like 2,400 pph going off chair spacing. So it's got a higher uphill capacity than Big Burn has.

This lift has one of the best drive sounds IMO

Two Creeks is about the same length as Copper Mountain's American Flyer.

Place is empty! What a beautiful day

It should be noted that the design speed is incorrectly reported to be 1200 fpm in many places. The top speed is 1000, as confirmed by one of their lift mechanics commenting on lift blog.

This lift has a direct drive in the upper terminal, and it replaced a first generation high speed quad.

does this lift have a direct drive?

We were on Wirepatch on the same day! There was a lot of good snow that week. I like your videos, nice job!

Sublette at Jackson Hole has the same kind of chairs. Hoping to check it out next weekend.

Wait tf I didn’t know this thing had a midstation I got N/A education, but damn that motor is so nice and loud

This lift directly replaced Coney Glade and Burlingame and was actually referred to as "Coneygame" on some master plans for that reason. The bottom terminal is where Burlingame started, and the midstation is where Burlingame was cut back to in 2005 when the Village Express went in (and is just uphill of where Fanny Hill ended). The upper terminal is where Coney Glade ended, while Coney Glade started on that elevated mound on the left at 3:00.

Part of this lift replaced the old Coney Glade lift!

In there rn in a cabin good job tho

Don’t you worry abt camera falling off the glass ?

you made to outpost! not a ton of people record this lift, good job on this one!!

Incredible video

Bruh, where’d you learn to ski? No pole straps? Savage.

Where’s the Sun ?

Incredible

Imperial SuperChair got a new paint job.

A bit tougher run there. I could never do that.

Wind protection is sick looking too!

Nice!!!
