Killington: Skyeship Express Gondola (Full Speed)

The Skyeship Express Gondola is a system of two gondolas that provide lift service from Skyeship Base on Route 4 to the top of Skye Peak. The stages meet up at the bottom of the Needle's Eye trail, where cabins can either be turned, or interlined onto the next stage. Two other lifts, the Needle's Eye Express, and Northbrook Quad, also begin there. While it's an old lift, it has low hours for its age, and is one of the fastest lifts in the region.
