Schiltgrat, Muerren in Grindelwald. So much floaty tree runs and steep chutes, and gets so deep with barely anyone ever there. Also the cable car in the first pic the Schilthorn is fun as fuck in bluebird pow, can ski right from 2790m to 1300m all in pow

You sure you dont mean 7 or 8? Nine is the one that runs to the right of the meadows chalet i beleive. 7 gives you a sick view of who's throwing down and 8 services the new jump line.

The fact that they have 18 lifts makes me laugh. A flat ass pancake out in the midwest, that has no variable terrain, double blacks, etc. with 18 lifts? Lolwat.

Singles generally moves pretty fast, only long wait is the tourists who line up HOURS in advance just to lap shale slope.

I'm surprised it took this long to say that even though I've never been there.

For the ones I've been on I can't choose just one but my top three are

Jackson Hole Tram

Aiguille Du Midi Cable Car

And the La Grave Gondola, one lift accessing 7500 Vertical Feet of terrain

That' only on weekends. Also if you ride single you can sometimes luck out and get a spot at the front.
