Massanutten, VA: Peak Express #6 - Summer Ride Down
Переглядів 23016 годин тому
In this video we ride down the Peak Express at Massanutten. Sorry if the safety bar is in the way, I was sitting in an awkward position to shoot the video from my GoPro chest mount. See both our uphill recordings of this lift for information about it. Recorded Jun 29, 2024.

*Another summer chairlift ride!* The Peak Express was Massanutten's first high-speed lift, and is a Doppelmayr Uni-G high-speed quad installed in 2023. It replaced a Borvig fixed-grip quad which was reinstalled at Holiday Mountain, NY, in 2024. This lift serves the most advanced ski trails in the winter and the most advanced bike trails in the summer. In the summer, every other chair has bike c...

If you don’t remember, my first ever music video was about Steamboat Resort. Ever since the Full Steam Ahead improvements, I decided to make another Steamboat music video incorporating all the new elements. This song itself follows the same chord progression as the first one, but only on the chorus; the verses have their own chord progression. So it’s basically Back to the Boat, but heavily mod...

Known as Morningside Park, all the trails are themed after things you would do in the morning. Something awesome about this area is all the wildlife that visits (i.e. gray jays, squirrels). Unfortunately, on this trip they were all in hibernation mode. There are 105 chairs a...

    A new lift is coming to Lone Mountain's north side-Madison 8, the resort’s second eight-place and third state-of-the-art D-line chairlift, will replace the existing Six-Shooter lift in the summer of 2024. Set to open in December 2024, Madison 8 will nearly double uphill capacity out of the Madison Base, reduce ride time by 30%, and continue to add value to the Big Sky experience for years to come. The lift name and brand mark are inspired by the journey of the northern exposure ecosystem, where ski turns define the winter landscape, and the snowmelt makes its way to the Madison River in the spring. The new eight-place lift will effectively double the uphill capacity while reducing ride time, offering guests swift and comfortable access to Big Sky Resort’s north side terrain from the Madison Base Area. Madison 8 will also set a new record globally as the longest eight-place installation in the world. This new lift even trumps hunter Mtn messily install their 3rd 6 pack chairlift which is Not even close to Big Sky who now has (2) 8 packs and (3) 6 packs all D-Line Bubble Lifts. Makes Big Sky Resort The Biggest And Best Ski Resort In North America Skiing ⛷️.

      Thanks for asking, I’d prefer that my music not be reused, but I can tell you how I made it in case you’d like to make up your own songs. I used a music-making software called Logic Pro to make most of the tracks, such as the drums, bass, banjo, and slide guitar riff, but the vocals and rhythm guitar were recorded on my own. There’s also GarageBand, but I recommend Logic Pro as it gives you more options for sounds to choose from, and you can customize the settings as much as you like. Hope this helps.
