Tram laps record at the bird
Record for tram laps at snowbird is 30 in a day. Either Saturday or Sunday, lines permitting, I'm gonna find out if it's breakable cause I want that title. Anyone else ever wanted to give this a try?
is 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?

Well if the tram breaks down then restarts quickly you could pull a lap wayy faster because you could hop in the other car

just ski faster
Get 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.

I know I can make top to bottom in about 3-5 min on my usual jump line and I did 20 laps on sunday not all day

Tram 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.

Give 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....

I work during the week, otherwise I'd definitely do it then. I'm going 7/11 taquitos and pocket bacon for lunch. I'll see about either Saturday or Sunday

a better record is how many times u can fart in one tram ride
last 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

No you didn't
gapersarefriendsNo you didn't
you can believe whatever you want cause this is the internet and I don't have proof
gapersarefriendsNo you didn't
can confirm this happened, i got really high from the 2nd hand marijuana
Theres 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.
It's less how much you can ski and more how many trams can run in one day

Or they just did the early bird which anyone can pay extra to do.
According to the article they went 9-3:45

"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.

Top to bottom from the tram is not physically possible in one minute, sorry bud.

Yes it is. He just has to straight line the entire mountain. I say go for it and film it.
Shut up skierman. You are less than life.
But then I can't hit my fun Peruvian jump line

I talked to a team operator. Basically they only run the team at about 8/10ths speed usually to strain the machinery less. However, if I could bamboozle my way into getting them to run it full speed one day it might be possible. I'm thinking sunny, cold winter week day and just mob down Peruvian like I usually do. The issue is that I want to ski the fun lines off of it, but I also want to test how fast I can make one run down the tram because I feel like straightlining the cirque is probably the fastest, though I haven't tried that yet.
I’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.

I 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.

Thanks so much, you're awesome!

Definitely doing this

It 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.

This would be fantastic.
Having skiied snowbird like twice, t2b within a minute is really ambitious. Gl op looking forward to the gopro vid
I don't think a minute is possible, sub 2 could be though I think cause my fastest time down my jump line on slow skis was about 3 min

I can pretty much straight line Pdog and it takes about 4-5 minutes
All times are Eastern (-4)
