The Alpine Lift is one of the last remaining lifts from the original lineup. The slowest two person chair in history (probably not, but in the running) takes at least 12 minutes to get you halfway up the mountain. That is precisely why the terrain over here stays the way it does. It takes quite a commitment to continually ride this chair for a few hours; but your legs probably need it as the terrain over here is mostly bumps, steeps, and trees that the expert will love. This lift rarely has a lift line and is usually a little warmer than other parts of the mountain; or is it that I’m always sweating after battling the moguls et al... Look behind the lift and you’ll see some of the fun holes of the Copper Creek Golf Course.
