RIP 4 Seasons

I didn’t have any pics that show its full length so you’ll have to trust me that the unload was just barely off camera to the left

Montage has a comically short and low double on their bunny slope. That has to be the winner

One reason that lift is still there is because the current owner wasn't a skier when he bought Montage. He appreciated having a slow chairlift that only beginners use when learning to load a lift. He told the story to Stuart in a Storm Skiing podcast.

The Top Notch double chair at Berkshire East is VERY short and only has 3 towers as well. Maybe @snoloco knows which is the shortest.

I love that little lift at Berkshire East (still has wooden seats if my memory is correct). I make a point to always take a ride when I’m there. I did a quick search about its history and was surprised to find out that before coming to Berkshire East in 2001 it was the Easy Chair at Mt. Tom from 1994 to 1999 and before that it was the Little Chair at Magic Mountain from 1964-1993 (according to newenglandskihistory.com). What a cool chair life!

According to liftblog:
Lift Length
Montage Short Haul: 280 ft.
Four Seasons Express: 600
Berkshire East Top Notch: 800

The Short Haul is definitely the shortest chair lift I've ever seen.
