Steamboat Christie Peak Express lift - Alternative take
Channel: NYCentral Trainspotter
Date: 2011-03-20

Rather than reupload my other Christie Peak Express video, I decided to upload more of my unused footage that I haven't put onto YouTube yet.

I recorded this take on February 19, 2011, the day after my other video of the lift was filmed.

One of the primary reasons for filming this take was because I thought that there was a little too much wind on the section of the lift that travels via the Christie II lift line. You also get to see the midway load as you approach it rather than looking up at the grip. Also, the Gondola is running in this video (when I recorded the lift the day before, the Gondola was closed due to wind, explaining the long line in the queue seen at the beginning of that video).

Don't mind the other skiers in the chair and their conversations. In fact, I'll admit it, sometimes their conversations really do get annoying when I'm trying to film.
