Breckenridge Peak 8 SuperConnect

Breckenridge performed a major mountain transformation in 2002 that replaced one lift and added an additional one. This created the Independence SuperChair and Peak 7 blue runs, but it also created a new way of getting from Peak 9 to Peak 8: the Peak 8 SuperConnect.
Peak 8 SuperConnect:

Breckenridge performed a major mountain transformation in 2002 that replaced one lift and added an additional one. This created the Independence SuperChair and Peak 7 blue runs, but it also created a new way of getting from Peak 9 to Peak 8: the Peak 8 SuperConnect.


The Peak 8 SuperConnect replaced a Riblet double chairlift called Lift 4. It helps make the connection between the peaks easier and detachable. Originally, to get to Peak 8 from Peak 9 or Peak 10, one had to make their way to Lift 4 via catwalks and difficult runs.

It is also the only lift to cross over other lifts (the reason for crossing over as opposed to under is because the lifts crossed had existed for a while in 2002).

General description of the SuperConnect line:
The lift starts at the junction of Red Rover and Sundown, just down the hill from the bottom of Lift A. After a 90 degree load, the chairs rise up significantly to cross over the Beaver Run SuperChair. Then you continue onwards and pass near a maintenance area for snowmobiles. A short while later, the lift rises a little bit more and crosses over (in order) Lower Peerless, Lift C, and Lower Gold King. After that, the lift continues through the woods and descends downhill into the midway loading terminal, located where Lift 4 used to originate. A slight turn in the line allows the Peak 8 SuperConnect to then follow the old #4 lift line the rest of the way to the top at the Vista Haus.

Statistics:
Constructed: 2002
Manufacturer: Leitner-Poma
Ride time: 8.5 minutes (from bottom terminal), 4 minutes (from midway terminal)
Towers: 28
Chairs: 190
