Comments (0) Best New Ski Lift - 2008

Panoramic Express
Winter Park Resort

Readers' Choice: Panoramic Express
When Winter Park opened its Parsenn Bowl, it introduced skiers to miles of great new runs and untracked tree skiing ? but also the sort of lines it hadn?t seen in decades, since there was only one very slow, two-person chair taking you to the top. But all that ended this year when the resort added the speedy, $8 million Panoramic Express, North America?s highest six-person chairlift. The name ? supplied by Winter Park fan Pat Barron, who was inspired by a train that once had that moniker ? is fitting, because the Panoramic takes you above 12,000 feet, where you get a stunning view of the mountains and the valley below.
