I don't know why I thought this thread was limited to "fixed grip quads" before. Limited attention span or something.
Since everyone is getting all double-icious, here are a couple more of my favorites from the good 'ol days:
Blue (double) at Mt Hood Meadows - ran adjacent to the "Mt Hood Express" (which I think was a high speed triple at the time, and since has been upgraded to a HS quad). The best part about Blue was that it had a steep enough exit ramp that snowboarders were VERBOTEN. Occasionally the express would shut down (probably icing up or general mechanical stuff but I was too young to notice or care). Much butt-hurt was uttered by the single-plankers until MHE got running again. Schadenfruede at its finest.
Red (double) at Mt Bachelor - Whether it was hitting quick steep-ish pow shots on Shorty or accessing quick boot packs up the Cinder Cone, Red would run in the worst weather when Pine Marten and Outback were on wind hold. And it's immortalized by Deschutes Brewery, talk about paying homage!
Upper Bowl (double) at Mt Hood Skibowl - Loved this chair which accessed some nice lit bump runs, you could ski laps as fast as you were able during midweek nights. Also during the day it accessed some unexpectedly good stuff (when open) off Tom Dick and Harry Peak (I am not making that name up).
Current favorites: Since we ski mostly at Crystal Mt in Washington, Chair 6 and Northway, although the line for Chair 6 can get brutal on weekend pow days. Doesn't everyone know the powder in the PNW sucks? Go to Utah or something people!
