This photo shows the base of the mountain from a non-skier's point of view. The ski lift on the left is called Preview. It's a slower speed lift that serves the school area and gives beginners a taste of the intricacies of getting on and off the chair lifts. The one in the center is called the Christie Express, has seating for up to six riders at a time and is the main chairlift for getting to the middle of the mountain, where other lifts can take people higher. Steamboat Springs, CO.
