The winning name, from Mark La Flamme of the resort's maintenance department: Black Mountain Express. Not bad.
From an A-Basin press release:
The new, high speed quad chairlift that will be constructed this summer at Arapahoe Basin has found a name - Black Mountain Express. Alan Henceroth, COO of A-Basin, put a call out to A-Basin aficionados to help name the lift. He received hundreds of suggestions from "Quadzilla" to "Chairway to Heaven." After much contemplation and days of looking through suggestions by A-Basin management, some of them very entertaining, "Black Mountain Express" won the crown.Now while Black Mountain Express is not bad, and Quadzilla is pretty bad, I think I would have gone with Chairway to Heaven. But then Robert Plant would have sued me for everything I'm worth ($868.31).
