Breckenridge - Colorado SuperChair (Up) [Summer]

The Colorado SuperChair is a six-person detachable chairlift located at Breckenridge Ski Resort in Colorado. The chairlift runs from the resort's Peak 8 base area to the Vista Haus lodge. The chairlift is one of two main lifts out of the Peak 8 Base Area, the other being the Rocky Mountain SuperChair. The lift serves a wide variety of trails, ranging from beginner groomers and family areas to ungroomed advanced trails. From the top of the lift, skiers and riders can access many of the resort's other base areas and lifts, including the Peak 9 Base Area and the Horseshoe Bowl T-Bar. The chairlift was installed by Leitner-Poma in 2014, replacing the old high-speed quad of the same name. In the summer, the chairlift spins for scenic chairlifts, serving a ropes course, observation deck. mountain biking, and hiking trails at the top.
Breckenridge is a ski area located in Breckenridge, Colorado. The ski area is one of many ski areas located in Summit County. These ski areas tend to be very popular due to their close proximity to the Denver Metro Area. Breckenridge is located about a 90-minute drive west of Denver. The ski area is one of the largest ski areas in Colorado and North America. Spanning over five peaks (numbered 6-10), Breckenridge is home to a large variety of skiing. Peak 6 is home to many intermediate above-treeline ski trails. Peaks 7 through 9 include a wide variety of trails, including plenty of intermediate and beginner groomers located on the lower half of those peaks. The upper half of Peak 8 also features some of the most extreme above-treeline skiing at Breck, including the highest lift-serviced skiing in North America, with the top of the Imperial SuperChair lift sitting at an elevation of 12,840 feet (3,914 meters) above sea level! Meanwhile, Peak 10 is home to a large collection of below-treeline advanced trails, a fair amount of which is actually frequently groomed! Breckenridge is known for its large variety of ski trails, grooming quality, and the fantastic ski town located at the base of the ski area. The ski area is owned by Vail Resorts and is, therefore, a destination of the company's Epic Pass product.
In the summer, Breckenridge is home to scenic chairlift rides, mountain biking, a mountain coaster, alpine slides, and more.

I hope you'll go back this winter for the Freedom SuperChair.

[@beyondthelodge]

Not in the plans for this winter but I would love to ski at Breck some upcoming winter!

Is there snow at the top of Peak 8 during the early-mid summer? At 3,914m it would seem high enough for it, on the other hand, the weather looks quite toasty in this video.

[@beyondthelodge]

I did not see any snow at Breckenridge but I didn't hike up further than the top of this chairlift so I'm unsure

It will be nice to be able to lap Peak 7 when Freedom SuperChair comes in. When I went in December, I’ve had to wait 15-20 minutes just to get on Independence SuperChair. I have mixed feelings about Peak 7, because the terrain is good, but lapping it is just a hassle.

Where is the Freedom SuperChair going?

Is the Freedom SuperChair going to have a mid station?

[@TwinSkiingLiftsRides]

No
