The lift at PC is basically a rope tow.

The laps at Woodward and PC take like 5 min. Quick lift, park only lift, quick laps. And you don’t have to hold a rope or handle

Well yeah I personally don't drive up to Snowbasin for their world class parks but thats what OP was looking for and if he's anything like the average park skier lapping a flat rail for four hours on a rope tow might be more fun than the super intense park scene at PC or Woodward or the travel and liftline nightmares at Brighton

only thing that sucks about the lifts is waiting in line and not being able to hop on at any point. Are the park lifts at pc and Brighton usually a long wait or can you just hop on the chair?

while you are definitely right i will probably just go to wherever is cheaper and i’m pretty sure Woodward is only like 30$ for a night

I'd say that's a good move, they have a decent range of feature difficulty, the laps are quick, and there are never lift lines

PC never has a lift line due to 3 kings accessing park only, maybe like 11am on a Saturday has a line, but during the week you ski onto the lift.

Being able to get on in the middle certainly is nice with a rope tow, but I wouldn't wanna deal with a rope tow filming, but PCs park is also built to ski through, we only stop twice, but ya a rope tow is always faster, just not common in the west.
