Breckenridge Ski Resort - Mercury SuperChair (2)

An interesting fact: the Mercury SuperChair of today is not the first lift to use that name. From 1990 to 1993, the Beaver Run SuperChair utilized this name as well.

The lift services the trails on upper Peak 9. In this video, you view the complete ride from loading through to unloading (in sharp contrast to my previous video of this lift, which cut out some parts of the ride).

The Mercury SuperChair replaced a double chairlift called Lift B, which ran from the 1970s until 1997 from near the top of the Quicksilver Quad to near the top of the present day lift. Its lift line is still visible today. In this video, at about tower 18, two towers below the top, you'll see a narrow ribbon through the trees to the right of the lift line. That's the old Lift B lift line.

Statistics:
