Gosh this video is nostalgic
I will make an updated ranking soon, as some of the lifts on this list have been removed and replaced.
I worked 4 points in the ‘74-75 season, and my friend worked Elkhead. She would do yoga naked at the top lift shack. At the time Elkhead wasn’t used much. At the time I worked there 4 Points had to be certified due to changes so we had to load each chair with 3 90# sand bags and every 5th chair got 5 bags. Once the entire uphill side was fully loaded they let the lift run backwards then hit the brakes to stop it, unfortunately, someone had painted the bull wheel which acted like a lubricant, the lift didn’t stop. Myself and two other operators were in the Lowe lift shack watching the chairs fly past around the bull wheel flinging sand bags. The lift finally got stopped just as a chair with the 5 bags got to the bull wheel. Several of the chairs were mangled after hitting the support structure. Interesting beginning for my first job. One of the perks of working that lift was first tracks on every powder day.
Yes, I have photos, no you can’t see them.
Yikes, that’s a crazy way for a rollback to start!
If you like Pony Express, then you'll love the new Mahogany Ridge Express. It's even more isolated and advanced then Pony.
Checked out Mahogany Ridge two weekends ago, it’s epic. The only problem I have with it is that you have to take a flat traverse to get out of the area.
easily my 2nd fav lift!!
Which one?
@@TwinSkiingLiftsRides storm peak
@@DeltaChairlifts5 One of my favorites too!
morning side is my fav part of the mountain because of its tree lines and super fun runs!
Four Points lift is a viable alternative for Storm when the summit is ^$♤□□% and the lift line is no better 😁
Fun fact even tho I haven’t been to steamboat I know that green horn ranch express replaced rough rider
It did.
@@TwinSkiingLiftsRides I’m planning to go to steamboat and copper mountain this winter
@@Sterlingclub24 Great!
@@TwinSkiingLiftsRides i think they should have named it rough rider express instead of green horn ranch express, green horn ranch express is too much to say
@@TwinSkiingLiftsRides on your next steamboat trip can you record the new greenhorn ranch, wild blue, and mahogany ridge express
Nice, can't wait! Looks like an amazing mountain.
It’s fantastic.
I'm going to work at Steamboat this winter, and this actually makes me feel alot better. I'm terrified of heights, so ski lofts have never been my friend, but this looks like they're not so bad.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Steamboat’s my all-time favorite ski area.
They gotta be acoustic
Yess!! This is the video I have been waiting for. Cheers for the premier!
Hope you enjoy it!
Bar UE should move up the list. Its access to Flying Z and getting back from pony express. make it the best way to avoid lines at storm peak. More important, the runs off it are all killer, with no (crowded) filler that one needs to hit if going all the way to storm peak lift line. Finally, as one of the last 2 person chairs out there, it is perfect for lovers or sharing a joint with your homie. Four points is another all killer, no filler way to avoid storm peak lines
It’s been a long time since I rode that lift, I wish I did during my trip. I didn’t feel like I needed to ride it since you could access the same terrain off Storm Peak Express, but I can see the values it provides. I probably would’ve put it above Elkhead Express if I actually rode it, but I was focused on other stuff. It’s not my home mountain, but I know the mountain really well.
Switch bar ue and four points
I’ll be heading back to Steamboat later this season, so I plan to redo this ranking into a tier list like my previous rankings.
Bashor is pronounces “basher” lmao, valid tier list anyways good job.
Lol, figured it out! Wish I knew that before making this video!
Lift nerds! Great vid boys
Thanks. More Copper vids are coming!
@@TwinSkiingLiftsRides Come back to Colorado :)
@@coloradocamera I’m in Colorado for two more days! Skiing Winter Park tomorrow, and skied Copper today and yesterday! But yes, I would definitely come back to CO if I have the chance to revisit.
There’s actually a tiny handle tow on the skiers right side of VooDoo run! It’s hidden in plain sight, most people don’t know about it. It’s for the freestyle skiers. Prolly not included in the review but still cool.
That’s pretty sweet! I didn’t know that was a thing! I saw it on a Skimap.org map, and that’s about the only place I saw it. Never seen it in real life.
When?? Thought it removed like 2006?
What’s your favorite run on the mountain
I have a lot of favorite runs, but subjectively, my personal favorite is Why Not because I skied that run a lot when I was younger, and it brings me back so many memories. Objectively, the runs off Morningside and Pony Express are steeper, and have more exciting features, but that may be that I’m an intermediate-advanced skier, and am used to these kinds of runs.
STEAMBOOOOAAAAAAT hurt my ears lmfao
I gave a heads-up!
Plans to return to Steamboat this year @Twin Skiing, Lifts, & Rides maybe?
Not this year. I’m checking out Copper, Winter Park, and Whistler this Xmas. My goal is to check out as many different ski areas as I can.
@@TwinSkiingLiftsRides Well, I'll be hitting WP in December.
@@SL_60 Sweet! I’ll be skiing WP for two days, before Xmas Eve.
Nope. Anybody who ranks sunshine alive sundown is on drugs. And pony at number one!? No way. Pony is fine but that part of the mountain doesn’t get as good snow coverage. Sundown is the best lift in the mountain and it is not close. Also, Bar UE is awesome.
Wait, did Steamboat take down the Priest Creek lift?
As far as I know, they’ve removed the chairs for auctioning, so the rest of the lift will be taken down eventually.
@Idaho ski lifts Pretty much, the entire lift is about gone by now
Nice review! Seriously, you guys are amazing!
Thank you!
barue is so much better than bashor
Please don't scream in your videos, otherwise, a good review,
Sorry. Trying to keep things interesting.
I liked it 😂😂
@@alpinevalleymodelskiarea7253 Glad you enjoyed it! I’m trying to keep these as entertaining as possible.
Not pronounced ba-shore, rather bash-or...
I can’t believe I’ve pronounced it wrong all the times I was at the Boat! 😂
It’s pronounced Bash er
Ok, but I’ve always pronounced it as Bash-OR, so it doesn’t really matter.
@@TwinSkiingLiftsRides I'm a local and it's pronounced Bash-er
Ok, thanks for letting me know. I didn’t know it was pronounced that way. I can’t believe I’ve pronounced it wrong my whole life 😂
Stop screaming into your mic
