"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."

Most people ski for the joy of being on snow and prioritize groomers, moguls, powder runs, or glades. Many view chairlifts as a necessary means to access slopes rather than an experience. A subset of skiers and snowboarders values the chairlift ride as much as the downhill run, making lift-rich resorts especially appealing. The five U.S. resorts with the most lifts are Park City Mountain (41), Big Sky Resort (40), Palisades Tahoe (39), Deer Valley (36), and Breckenridge (35). Lift inventories include gondolas, trams, funitels, surface lifts, high-speed chairs, and specialty chairs such as Imperial Express SuperChair.
