Lifts
With a gondola, bubble eight-pack, and a number of other high-speed quads, Loon boasts one of many flashiest raise setups in New England. The gondola and bubble chair do an ideal job of defending visitors from the weather on chilly, windy days, and the predominantly high-speed raise community transports visitors up the slopes shortly.
Nonetheless, a couple of notable lifts at Loon are nonetheless gradual, fixed-grip chairs. Most of those both serve in a helper capability or aren’t too lengthy, however the Tote Highway Quad, which offers the one connection between the North and South Peak sides, feels fairly sluggish alongside its primarily flat raise line. As well as, putting in the brand new Timbertown Quad as a fixed-grip raise quite than a high-speed seems like one other missed alternative; this chair could also be modest in size, however in attempting to unfold novices away from the detachable-lift-served North Peak, the resort seemingly would have discovered extra success by putting in a raise with a extra interesting journey pace.
Steam-Powered Locomotive
Whereas not technically a raise, it’s value mentioning that Loon encompasses a steam-powered locomotive that runs between the 2 North Peak base areas. This prepare doesn’t serve any terrain, however using it offers a one-of-a-kind expertise that skiers and riders is not going to discover at different mountains. The locomotive operates on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in the course of the core winter season.
