I'd say the one that get's you to the top of white face, there is a sign that says
'' have you had a good look at the slope, would you like a ride back down ? ''

KT-22 for sure, I think this lift converted me from being a park rat! Although Silverado is a close second....

theres this one lift at killington i really liked when i visited there im pretty sure its called the superstar or something but it doesn't really access a ton but you can go to the park or some other cool terrain on the other side. but my real favorite part is at one part towards the end of the lift it comes like really low to the ground and it feels like your like floating its pretty cool

Peak Chair at Whistler was one of my favorite rides, but close to home I gotta say Flying Mile chair at Trembs on a dead day. Endless fast park laps.

Sounds like king pine but maybe not. I used to love the old double at king pine in NH.

Not nearly as sexy as the others, but the quad at Bittersweet. I cannot even guess how many laps I've ran on that thing and no other chair will have the same "at home" feel. Having a high speed on a 350 vert hill is a different kind of special. Great hot laps.

Got another answer from left field. The triple at Bohemia. Mechanically it might be the worst lift ever. Chairs seat three but they only two since the chair gets over-weighted. It's painfully slow, the wind sucks, pretty much all the qualities of a terrible chair. But the views are amazing and depending on the day people are hucking themselves and the people on the chair love to cheer and heckle. Great vibes on a terrible machine.

In the Midwest the hollywood chair at Boho you get yips and hollers only comparable to the level of stoke on KT-22

Gotta be the summit at bachy, probably the source of all the best days of my life. No disrespect to all the sick terrain at other resorts, but I can't pick one I've only skied a handful of days
