Rode that lift today, wasn’t going that fast. I rekon the unloading ramp would get pretty congested if it ran like that.

1100 is pretty nice. We have 1 that is listen at 1000 but I'v clocked less than 7 minutes for a lift over 8000 feet in length so it was not doing 1000.

The lift reached 13 mph (1144 fpm) so it’s gondola speed but why does it have to be ran at 950 fpm for the public?

I bet the chair spacing is to close together. Elk Camp is really popular and it services blue terrain. So if it ran full speed, people would be falling off at loading. Also it can't go that fast on diesel, only on electric, and (I think) it cost more to run it on electric. It is a entertaining ride though, and very scenic so it dose not really bother me that it does not run full speed. Keep in mind that most of the lifts at Snowmass are high speeds, so they can't run all of them at max speed without using a lot of money. (don't mind me being late lol) Edit: I just looked at liftblog, the capacity is only 1600 so the chairs aren't that close together

Also to reduce wear and to make it less expensive.
