And while there have been plenty of advancements since then,Big Sky in Montanais topping them all.
Big Sky is now North America’s only ski destination with three bubble D-line lifts and two eight-place lifts.
But that’s not the only accolade for this lift.

With an incline length of 8,631 feet, it’s also the world’s longest eight-passenger chairlift.
“Madison 8, our twelfth new lift installed since 2016, certainly makes this a reality.”
Of course, the lifts aren’t the only reason to love Big Sky.
And the mountain is only going to get better and more advanced from here.
And that’s all a future we can look forward to.
