Evergreen Summit Express is a four-person detachable bubble chairlift located at Okemo Mountain Resort. The lift runs from about halfway up the mountain, up to the summit of Okemo's main face. The lift serves the upper half of central Okemo, which consists of a variety of terrain for all ability levels. The lift acts as an alternative to the Sunburst Six chairlift for those looking to lap many of Okemo's most popular beginner and intermediate runs and access the main face from the Jackson Gore and Solitude areas without having to ski the Mountain Road traverse back to the base of Sunburst. The lift was manufactured by Poma and installed at the resort's Jackson Gore expansion area in 2002 as the Jackson Gore Express. In 2015, the lift received bubble chairs and was renamed the Quantum Four. In 2021, the chairlift was relocated to its current location, replacing Green Ridge, a 1986 Doppelmayr fixed-grip triple chairlift, meanwhile, it was replaced at Jackson Gore with the new Quantum Six lift that same year. • Okemo Mountain Resort is a ski area located in Ludlow, Vermont. The ski area is located in the Southern-Central portion of the state, south of Killington and north of Stratton/Bromley/Magic. Okemo first opened for lift-serviced skiing in 1956. Starting in 1982, the ski area was owned by Triple Peaks, a company run by the Mueller Family, which also owned Mount Sunapee in New Hampshire and Crested Butte in Colorado. During the summer of 2018, the Muellers sold Okemo, along with their other properties, to Vail Resorts. As a result, Okemo is currently a destination on the Epic Pass. Okemo is one of the more popular ski areas in Vermont, as it is located in the southern portion of the state, making it closer to population centers. Okemo is known for its family-oriented culture. The mountain places a large emphasis on its wide variety of learning opportunities. The mountain has plenty of terrain for all skill levels, especially intermediate skiers and riders. The ski area is comprised of four main areas: the Main Face; the South Face, which has more advanced trails compared to the other areas and is a great way to avoid crowds; the Solitude area, which is home to a lot of fun cruisers, and a wide variety of condos; and Jackson Gore, the newest area of Okemo and is also home to the ski area's large hotel and a mountain coaster. • Manufacturer: Poma • Year of Installation: 2021 (current location), 2002 (original location) • Vertical: 1,020 ft • Length: 4,131 ft • Estimated Duration in Recording: 5:45 • Estimated Speed in Recording: 718 ft/min • Design Speed: 1,000 ft/min • Capacity: 2,180 per hour • Green Ridge Triple: • Okemo - Green Ridge Triple [Removed, ... • Quantum Four: • Okemo - Quantum Four [Relocated, 2002... • Filmed on December 16, 2023 • Filmed on the GoPro Hero 9 Black with the Max Lens Mod attached
