High Speed Chair Lifts

New for 2011-12 is the Paradise Express high-speed quad chair, which will move more skiers up the mountain faster than ever before. The new lift will move a whopping 2,400 people per hour, has a vertical rise of 1,345 feet and will carry skiers 1.45 kilometers in only 4.6 minutes!
