- | What do you want from a ski lift? One thing I want is for it to give me the greatest height gain as quickly as possible. | + | What do you want from a ski lift? I know, I know: no queues, accesses great terrain, a big “Experts only” sign to scare away the riffraff. But you can determine all of that stuff fairly easily by studying |
- | NorAm | + | But sometimes you just want to get lots of laps in, with the greatest possible height gain in the least time. You know some of the rules: use the steepest lifts, try the gondolas, but is it better to take that 7-minute fast chair or the steep 10-minute T bar? So I want to maximize VPM (Vert per Minute). |

- | Note that we are definitely in pinch of salt territory here. The line length and vertical gain figures are pretty solid, but the ride time is generally not very accurate. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Lift type also plays a rôle. | + | |
- | For me, the kings of the mountain are the high-speed detachable chairs (CLDs below). | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Of course I'm ignoring queueing here — I am assuming that if you've read this far you already ski at off-peak times, in whiteouts, using the singles line, and generally manage queueing efficiently yourself. | + | |
