gr4is it even possible? it's like a 10 minute ride, so you beat the next tram down in ten minutes for a 20 minute lap. Thats 3 laps an hour. Tram runs 9am-3pm, so 6 hours. That means 18 laps possible right? Or am I calculating it wrong?

theabortionatorGet 210s, point them, straight, yolo
Honestly if you're going over 50 you barely feel any moguls. IT's the same with washboard roads in a car, you'll just float over top of them.

IsitWinterYet17Give it a shot. Best shot is a weekday so smaller lines. Take the straightest line down. Ski with a pack full of water and food so no breaks. Don't forget to track and post your report here. I'll give you $5, but you also have to post proof of the old record so we know it exists. 31 laps is a long day especially standing for it all....

BASEDJAHlast winter I saw some dudes hit a full dab rig on the tram and blow the smoke out over the heads of some little mormon kids
gapersarefriendsNo you didn't

DeebieSkeebiesTheres probably some crusty-ass 60 year old who has been skiing LCC since the 70s that probably has this record beat by like double haha, good luck though. ill be up hitting them wicked-ass snakes this weekend.
BigPurpleSkiSuitTram runs 9am-3:45 pm. I find that on average I can make about 4 laps an hour depending on loading and offloading times. Don't know if that 8 min up and down time is accurate, it certainly feels faster. Even with that, 4 times 6.75=27, so I don't know how they got 30. It sounds like it was arranged for them.
skiermanOr they just did the early bird which anyone can pay extra to do.
skierman"Starting at 9:01 a.m. sharp, the group made the first of what was to be the maximum number of tram rides — 30 — possible before the scheduled closing at 3:45 p.m. "
It sounds like you're fucked, bud.
BigPurpleSkiSuitIf I can make top to bottom in a minute I'm not
Way*MoTop to bottom from the tram is not physically possible in one minute, sorry bud.
skiermanYes it is. He just has to straight line the entire mountain. I say go for it and film it.
cozzeyI’ve got a pair of 194 Dynastar Legend Pro XXL skis that I’ll donate to this cause.
Heres the Evo bio to prove they are the only Ski suitable for this “Dynastar Legend Pro XXL Skis 2010: The Dynastar Legend Pro XXL Skis are built just like a race stock Super G ski from Dynastar s Race Room, but this big mountain destroyer has an insatiable appetite that can’t be curbed by corduroy. Featuring full vertical sidewalls, two layers of metal and a wood core, the Dynastar Legend Pro XXL is an oversized package you won’t want to miss.”
LMK when it's happening
BigPurpleSkiSuitI mean, if you're offering. I picked up a pair of fatypus d-senders 2016 earlier, so I figured I'd give them a shot first. I'd guess I'll try it sometime Feb or March depending on conditions.
cozzeyThey’re sitting in my garage with nothing on em my man. You’re more than welcome to use them for this

ski_steeIt would be sweet if they set up an Enduro on the Tram like they do on the Pali at A-Basin.
Run the lift as fast as they can have long hours keep jerry's out of the way.
When I worked at the Bird we could get a stupid amount of laps 40+ skiing just Gad 2, than Wilbere till 4:30.
TRVP_ANGELHaving skiied snowbird like twice, t2b within a minute is really ambitious. Gl op looking forward to the gopro vid
BigPurpleSkiSuitDid some recon, Peruvian would get you more vert at 2 min T2B which is achievable IMO, but we need Andersons to be groomed. In theory under perfect conditions, I could break 100k vert in a day which is more than that tram lap record attempt was.

BrandoComandoThat would be an impressive as hell achievement. But I hate to say it, part of the magic of the tram record is that it's the tram.
You'd get kudos for endurance for sure. 100k vert is insane.
But I think the tram record has you beat on style points. And ladies like style
DeebieSkeebiesMaybe not this year. Tram line is always long even on a quiet day just due to grouping on the tram.. Would rather take super-laps from gad side back over to peruvian side and then back over and up and down and all over lol.
