"Most people ski for the joy of being on snow. They want good groomers, moguls, powder runs, or glades. Meanwhile the chairlift if just a necessary in-between. It's what takes you up so you can go back down, nothing more. But there are some people out there who value the chairlift ride as much or more than the actual act of skiing or snowboarding. For those people, finding a ski resort with ample chairlifts is a huge plus."

Some skiers prize the chairlift experience as much as the descent and therefore prefer resorts with many lifts. The five U.S. resorts with the most lifts are Park City Mountain (41 lifts), Big Sky Resort (40), Palisades Tahoe (39), Deer Valley (36), and Breckenridge (35). Park City includes four gondolas and six surface lifts. Big Sky features 13 surface lifts, two gondolas, a tram, and 1,800 total chairs. Palisades spans two mountains with a tram, funitel, gondolas, and surface lifts. Deer Valley operates gondolas, surface lifts, high-speed six-packs with bubbles, and a fixed-grip quad.
